Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

Choosing an installation method

Before beginning to assemble your application, you must decide whether you want to use the IntelliStream application install feature or an external installer for your WebClient application. You can use IntelliStream to automatically download and update the front-end components of your application. Using IntelliStream, you can have an application installed and updated on an as-needed basis. Alternatively, you can use an external installer to install and update your application. If you want, you can also give your end user the option of updating an application or continuing to use an older but acceptable version of the installed application. For more information about the options available, see Chapter 3, " Designing Your End User’s Experience."
