IT deployment

Navifia ships one Windows package during beta: an interactive EXE that installs both the Excel and PowerPoint add-ins together. It is unsigned. There is currently no silent/MSI package for GPO or Intune deployment — see below if your fleet requires one.

Download only from navifia.com/download. Never distribute an unsigned package from email or chat.

Installer

Package Use when
NavifiaSetup.exe Per-user interactive setup, once per machine. Can install missing .NET Framework 4.8 (may prompt for administrator approval). Does not include the VSTO Runtime.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10 or 11
  • Desktop Excel and PowerPoint (Microsoft 365 or Office 2021; Office 2019 also)
  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • VSTO 2010 Runtime — included with Microsoft 365; on Office 2019 or 2021, install from Microsoft before NavifiaSetup
  • WebView2 Runtime — usually already present; otherwise the add-ins may download it when a pane first opens

Unsigned package allowlisting

Because the beta package is unsigned, SmartScreen, AppLocker, WDAC, or antivirus policy may block it. IT should allowlist the publisher or file hash deliberately. Do not ask end users to bypass company policy.

  1. Compute the file hash of NavifiaSetup.exe (e.g. Get-FileHash NavifiaSetup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 in PowerShell) and add it to your AppLocker/WDAC allow rule, or push the publisher/path exception your policy tooling uses.
  2. On an unmanaged or already-allowlisted machine, a user who launches the EXE directly will see SmartScreen’s “Windows protected your PC” prompt — More info → Run anyway proceeds. This should only be necessary before your allowlist rule takes effect.
  3. The installer needs no elevation unless .NET Framework 4.8 is missing, in which case Windows prompts for administrator approval for that step only. Pre-install the VSTO Runtime on Office 2019/2021 images so users are not blocked during add-in registration.

No silent/MSI package yet

An MSI for silent GPO/Intune rollout is not currently planned during beta — running the interactive EXE per machine is the only supported path for now. If a fleet-wide silent deployment is a hard requirement for your organization, email support@navifia.com and let us know; it helps prioritize this for a future release.

License and privacy notes for IT

  • One license activates Excel and PowerPoint on up to two devices.
  • 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.
