ClickOnce application downloads instead of directly opening the app
CodeDJ Just updating this thread to say that ClickOnce support is now in Canary (79.0.283.0). Users may opt into using ClickOnce by heading to the about:flags page and looking for "#edge-click-once".
More information on this is available here:

Thanks everyone for your patience!
i-am-kentJust tested with a ClickOnce .application URL and it worked fine. But what about .vsto? Its not being treated as a ClickOnce URL install.
Vidmo Hi! How hace you made the parameters by URL work? I can only open the application but the parameter arrives empty.
Thank you vey much.

entuto : Have you enabled the flag in edge://flags? Do you see this UI prompt?
Do you see the URL Arguments at the bottom of the window if you select the "Install an .application via ClickOnce with URL arguments" link on this test page https://bayden.com/test/clickonce/?
Eric_Lawrence Perfect, it works now, the flag had been disabled. Do you know if there is a way that the Open / Cancel window does not come out and directly open the desktop application?
I think I have the solution: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-learn-more-co-di
ClickOnce and DirectInvoke policies
There are two group policies that you can use to enable or disable ClickOnce and DirectInvoke for enterprise users. These two policies are https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#clickonceenabled and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#directinvokeenabled. These two policies are labeled in the Group Policy Editor as "Allow users to open files using the ClickOnce protocol" and "Allow users to open files using the DirectInvoke protocol" respectively.
Vidmo we believe that we have fixed the "vsto does not work with" issue in the latest Canary. Are you able to confirm this? It should work with 80.0.351.0.
- Eric_LawrenceThanks for the bug report. We can confirm this isn't yet working correctly for .vsto files.
