Limitations of ClickOnce Installed on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows Client


The following are limitations of ClickOnce installed on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

Command-line arguments - ClickOnce installed on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client cannot be run with custom command-line arguments. For example, this affects the following scenarios:
  • An end user cannot specify the Home page.
  • An end user cannot specify a profile. He can only use his default profile.
  • An end user cannot disable personalization. An administrator can disable personalization on a profile.
  • An administrator cannot configure profiles. He should use the MSI-installed client for this task.
  • An end user cannot run in full-screen mode.
  • An end user cannot disable the navigation pane.

Hyperlinks - The protocol handler dynamicsnav:// is not registered during ClickOnce installation, which means that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client cannot be activated by choosing a hyperlink. This could impact the following scenarios:
  • End users cannot send each other links to specific pages.
  • An end user cannot use the link on a OneNote page.
  • An end user cannot use the link on a report.
  • The debugger cannot be started.

External components calling the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client - A ClickOnce-installed Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client will be installed in a randomly generated folder, and when it is upgraded to a new version, it will be installed a new randomly generated folder. This means that external components will not be able to detect where the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client executable is located. This could impact the following scenarios:
  • An end user can send a list page to Excel, but cannot refresh data from the Excel application.
  • Third-party applications cannot start the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

Sicily, Crete, Corfu and next Madeira...


Microsoft starts development of next versions with Code Names

If you recall Code names of earlier versions then

NAV2013 is Sicily
NAV2015 is Crete
NAV2016 is Corfu

And Next version code name is Madeira.



Let’s hope Microsoft will come with a lot of game changing new features in “Madeira”. Good luck Microsoft.

Let’s enjoy NAV2016 for now.


Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is an archipelago comprising 4 islands off the northwest coast of Africa that were settled in the 1400s. It’s known for its namesake wine and warm, subtropical climate. Popular outdoor pursuits include hiking along old levada (aqueducts) in the mountains, golf, surfing and scuba diving at sites such as the Garajau Marine Nature Reserve.
