Configure Microsoft Visual Studio ClickOnce Trust Prompts

Overview

Microsoft Visual Studio ClickOnce Trust Prompts control whether code using the .net Framework can be launched or not within Microsoft Office. If this is not enabled or allow, ExcelReportLink will not run as it will be missing the AddonsLink Ribbon.

These settings are controlled by the following key within your windows registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NETFramework\Security\TrustManager\PromptingLevel

Importantly, both the MyComputer and LocalIntranet registry key values should be set to Enabled.
