One of the cool things about Nav 2013 is the ClickOnce deployment. Running Nav in a multi Tenant depoyment with many customers can make this a bit of a headache. First of all you need several deployments, one for each customer (seems stupid when all you need is a different ClientUserSettings.config ( maybe we could create a iis module or something to handle this ? ) anyway, for now lets keep it like that. Next if you read this page they promise us gold in the form of having several installations at the same computer. That will not work following microsofts guide thou, you need to have different assemblyIdentity names for that to work. Thank god we have powershell …
