How do I set the default program to open Operations Dashboard?

Question

Every time I try to open a "Try it Now" link on the documentation page or any other Operations Dashboard link it always asks me to save a new download of the application file.  Is there some way I can set the default program to open the Dashboard application?

Hi Cassidy,

Desktop Operations Dashboard is deployed using Microsoft's ClickOnce technology, if you want the app to launch directly instead of getting the application file downloaded everything, you can access the Try It/open operation view link use IE. Chrome also has some extensions (e.g. Meta4 ClickOnce Launcher) that support the same user experience. I am not aware of any addon for Firefox doing the same too, but I could be missing something here.

Cheers,
