Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

Distribution of the Deployment Packager

The Deployment Packager is an integral part of the PRO*Tools suite, and as such it is installed with OpenEdge Studio and can be launched from the PRO*Tools menu bar. But an important purpose of the Deployment Packager is to enable customers to create their own custom deployment configurations, working with the .prowcapc files that they receive from application developers. Since these customers typically do not have access to OpenEdge Studio, a standalone version of the tool, together with the required libraries, is provided in a file named prowcdp.zip. Application providers can distribute this version to their customers as appropriate.

Distributing and installing the standalone version

The prowcdp.zip file is installed in the OpenEdge bin directory. You can copy and distribute this single file to customers and other users. On the target system, extract the contents of the archive into a single directory. Then, in that directory, execute the following commands to register components:

regsvr32 psccab.dll

regsvr32 psccert.dll

regsvr32 pscsecreg.dll

You should see a success message after each command. The Deployment Packager is now ready for use.
