COM Helper

In order to have HCL Nomad for web browsers successfully process Component Object Model (COM) calls from agents and buttons, the Windows client machine needs to have HCL Nomad for web browsers COM Helper installed. COM is a Windows only feature, so the COM Helper only applies to web browsers running on a Windows machine.

The installer configures Chrome to load an HCL Nomad COM Chrome extension from the Chrome web store, and configures it to work with the domain specified during the install. Additionally, the installer lays down a native program that the Chrome extension will leverage. Once installed, Domino applications in Nomad for web browsers that make COM calls will flow through the Chrome extension to the native application.
