Deployment using ClickOnce

With ClickOnce deployment, you can download and start the OneStream Desktop application from a web page. The client is deployed to the AppData folder located in your profile C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/Apps/2.0/<Windows Assigned GUID>. The location is controlled by Windows and .NET. Deploying to the local profile lets users who are not local administrators download and start the application.

IMPORTANT: Every client machine running ClickOnce must have .NET 8 Desktop Runtime Installed.

When you deploy through ClickOnce, the client automatically updates to match the version of the OneStream server software.

Because of the ease of deployment and automatic upgrades, this is the preferred deployment method for customers and users who:

  • Can use the ClickOnce technology in their organization or industry.

  • Would like to limit IT’s involvement in deploying and upgrading the application.

  • Do not have to connect to multiple versions of the application at the same time.

NOTE: ClickOnce does not work with Citrix. The workaround for this is a traditional installation . Contact your IT support or add OneStream's URLs as trusted sites in Cisco Umbrella, Z Scaler, or proxy.

Run the ClickOnce Desktop Application

  1. Open the Microsoft Edge browser.

  2. Navigate to your company's specific OneStream URL to open the OneStream Desktop Application.

    Example: https://<customer>.onestreamcloud.com/OneStreamWeb/OneStreamWindowsApp.aspx

    Open This File dialog box

  3. Click Open. You are automatically redirected to the URL of the launching server which opens up the OneStream Desktop Application.

  1. Click the Create Windows Shortcut button to save a shortcut to the application on your desktop. The shortcut launches the application and eliminates the need to go to the website every time.
