Is it possible to deploy Development Environment by using ClickOnce as we are deploying Business Central client? Looks like I am the only in whole great Internet with this question.

Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    The advice is not to copy Development Client to the clickonce package as written here:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/deploying-microsoft-dynamics-nav-using-clickonce

    The problem is that the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DYNAMICSNAV is not present on the device where the clickonce is being installed to.

    Thanks.

    Hi Marco,

    Thank you for your answer. I appreciate your time you invested in research.

    I`ve read all that article prior to submitting ticket here and I know that this is bad practice. But still I have request from customer to give an option how to do this if it is possible at all.

    The main reason why we need this is because there are several DBs on one server and after recompiling language is lost. ClickOnce should allow to connect to DB directly (correct me if I am wrong) and recompile objects w/o erasing languages and diacrytical symbols.
