Windows Remix ClickOnce Helper Extension

This extension implements Native Host messaging to allow installation of ClickOnce (MIME application/x-ms-application) applications through Microsoft® .NET.

Description:

ClickOnce is a Microsoft® technology that enables the user to install and run Windows-based smart client applications by clicking a link in a web page. The core principle of ClickOnce is to ease the deployment of Windows applications. ClickOnce is a component of Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 and later, and is present in installations of Internet Explorer™. This extension adds that component to Chrome™, Chromium™, Firefox™ and Opera™.

Features:

• Protocol independent
• Case insensitive
• Legacy compatibility
• English

Permissions:

This extension will identify itself various ways (for legacy compatibility with certain sites), and for that it will add a couple of variables to the window object. This requires the \"Read and change all your data on the websites you visit\" permission.

When a ClickOnce link is clicked, Microsoft® .NET must handle the content. Google Chrome™ won't let you communicate directly with dotNET. That's why we need a middle man (\"Native Messaging Host\") installed with the extension to do this for you. This requires the \"Communicate with cooperating native applications\" permission.
