Requirements to install and run the Desktop Client

Axiom uses Microsoft ClickOnce technology to install and launch the Axiom Desktop Client (Excel or Windows) from the Web Client browser. Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge Legacy have native support for ClickOnce. ClickOnce add-ins may be available for other supported browsers, but no particular add-in is explicitly supported by Axiom.

Microsoft has released a new version of the Microsoft Edge browser based on Chromium. As of this writing, the new version of Edge does not support ClickOnce installation by default, the way that the old version of Edge did. In order to enable ClickOnce support and allow the Axiom Desktop Client to be installed and launched from the browser, you can adjust the configuration of Edge as follows:

  1. Launch the Edge browser. In the address bar, type edge://flags.

  2. Scroll down until you locate the item named ClickOnce Support. Select Enabled from the drop-down list.

  3. Close Edge and then reopen it. You should now be able to install or launch the Axiom Windows Client or the Axiom Excel Client from the browser.
