ClickOnce allows the user to run an installation program one time to install SpotlightXL, SpotlightPPT, or SpotlightWord and thereafter to receive updates to these Add-Ins automatically.
This format automates the process of updating the Add-Ins each month. Instead of uninstalling the old Add-In, downloading the new Add-In, and then installing the new Add-In each month, users set it up once and then allow the updates to be installed automatically going forward. When a new version of Dynamic Planning is released, the latest Add-Ins will be available in ClickOnce. When users start Excel, Spotlight will look for a new Add-In and then automatically uninstall the old Add-In and install the newly available Add-In.
This format is automated and does not need any local admin privileges.
ClickOnce is recommended for all users.
