!! Customers using Office 365 (O365) should NOT use this VSTO Add-in, but should use the O365 Pronestor Office Add-in.
This guide is for the regular Planner user who needs to install their Pronestor Outlook add-in when they start using Planner.
Requirements
You need to have a Planner user.
You need to know your outlook version.
Note, the Outlook version on a Mac is different than the Outlook version on a Windows. We do not have an add-in for the locally installed Outlook version on a Mac
Your Sign In Workspace (SiW) administrator has to have enabled the Outlook installation files. See this guide on How-to-enable-the-installationfile-available-for-users
IMPORTANT
The Pronestor Outlook Add-in is configured to auto-update when new versions are available.
This option requires the specific folder "%programfiles%\proNestor\Outlook add-in for Pronestor" to be configured with full control permissions on NTFS.
By default, SiW sets these permissions upon installation.
If you do not want to allow the add-in to auto-update - we recommend removing this permission.
You can do this via File Explorer or by using the attached Powershell script attached to this article
Please note that when disabling the auto update of the add-in, it is required that the add-in is updated when the Planner solution is updated. This can be done using SCCM or similar. The add-in version must always follow the Planner version as a version mismatch could result in corrupted data.
Please see the attached Powershell script for an example of how to set permissions
