IT deployment

Navifia ships two Windows packages: an interactive EXE for individuals and an MSI for managed fleets. Both beta packages are unsigned.

Download only from navifia.com/download and verify the published SHA-256 checksums. Never distribute an unsigned package from email or chat.

Choose a package

Package	Use when
`NavifiaSetup.exe`	Per-user interactive setup. Can install missing .NET Framework 4.8 / VSTO Runtime with administrator approval.
`Navifia.msi`	Silent/GPO/Intune deployment. Prerequisites must already be present.

Prerequisites

Windows 10 or 11
Desktop Excel and PowerPoint (Microsoft 365 is the tested target)
.NET Framework 4.8
VSTO 2010 Runtime
WebView2 Runtime — usually already present; otherwise the add-ins may download it on first pane open

Silent MSI commands

msiexec /i Navifia.msi /qn
msiexec /x Navifia.msi /qn

Close Excel and PowerPoint before install or uninstall. Confirm both hosts load the Navifia ribbon after a silent install.

Unsigned package allowlisting

Because the beta packages are unsigned, SmartScreen, AppLocker, WDAC, or antivirus policy may block them. IT should allowlist the publisher/file hash deliberately after verifying the official checksum. Do not ask end users to bypass company policy.

License and privacy notes for IT

One license activates Excel and PowerPoint on one machine.
Document content never leaves the machine. License validation sends the key, hashed machine ID, product, and request ID.
Offline grace after a successful online check is three days.
