Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

> ## Using non-IntelliStream technology

> The non-IntelliStream initial download (which includes WebClient and the application) can use Web-based or CDROM-based external installer technology such as InstallShield and similar technologies that can install and uninstall applications.

> The CDROM option is for customers who have slow communication lines. But the focus of WebClient is to deploy to end users over the Web.

> The WebClient distribution includes an installation image for installing WebClient on the end user’s machine.

> To prepare the application for the initial download, the application deployer prepares an installation procedure, using InstallShield One-Click Install technology or any other technology executable from a Web browser.

> You can customize the WebClient installation so it automatically starts the application installation.

> To start the initial download using a Web browser, the end user goes to the application deployer’s Web site and clicks on a button. This initiates the WebClient, and the application is downloaded and installed on the end user’s machine.

> Non-IntelliStream updates can use InstallShield One-Click Install technology or any other Web-enabled install technology. The efficiency of this method depends on your installer technology.
