====== Portal Google login problems using Click-once designer if you have also an locally installed version ======
Earlier the designer used an embedded Internet Explorer (IE), but IE is not longer supported for login with Google, so the Google login won't work from inside the designer.
Using click-once should always get the latest version and work, but we've seen situations where the old embedded IE browser is still used, even on a Windows 11 machine.
The issue seems to be related to old designer files being used when there's an old designer version installed, even after this has been uninstalled!
To resolve this issue
# Clear the click once cache as described above
# Uninstall any locally installed old version of the designer in Windows "Applications" settings
# Install a new version of the downloadable designer
# You can now uninstall the new designer again, and the click-once version should work as expected

Portal Google login problems using Click-once designer if you have also an locally installed version

Earlier the designer used an embedded Internet Explorer (IE), but IE is not longer supported for login with Google, so the Google login won't work from inside the designer.

Using click-once should always get the latest version and work, but we've seen situations where the old embedded IE browser is still used, even on a Windows 11 machine.

The issue seems to be related to old designer files being used when there's an old designer version installed, even after this has been uninstalled!

To resolve this issue

  1. Clear the click once cache as described above
  2. Uninstall any locally installed old version of the designer in Windows "Applications" settings
  3. Install a new version of the downloadable designer
  4. You can now uninstall the new designer again, and the click-once version should work as expected
