Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

WebClient installation

You must provide a way for your end users to install WebClient on their machines. You can do one of the following to provide a WebClient installation:

Host an installation on a Web server.
Point your users to the WebClient installation page.
Provide your users with a CD-ROM with a WebClient installation program.

OpenEdge provides the following WebClient installers:

A stand-alone InstallShield image that you can use to create an installation CD-ROM.
A One-Click Install image that you can use to host a Web-enabled installation.

Both installers install WebClient on the user’s machine but provide a different experience for your end user:

With a CD-ROM installation, your end users use a setup program to install WebClient.
With a Web-enabled installation, your end users go either to a Web page you provide or to the Progress Software Corporation Web site that provides a link for installing WebClient.
