Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
WebClient Applications

Accessing the WebClient installation files

The prebuilt WebClient InstallShield image is a ready-to-deploy WebClient installer that you can use to install WebClient on users’ machines. The image is used both for a CD-ROM install and for a Web-enabled (One-Click) install.

You can find this image in the following directory OpenEdge installation directory:

OpenEdge_install_dir\webinstall\webclient\web_image

To create a CD-ROM for installing WebClient, copy the web_image directory contents to the CD that you want to distribute.
To provide a Web installer for installing WebClient over the Web, copy the web_image directory contents to an appropriate location on your Web site.

Although you can deploy this installer without customization, Progress Software Corporation recommends you customize it to provide installation of your WebClient application along with WebClient. For more information, see the "Customizing the WebClient installation" section.

Note: If you provide a prebuilt WebClient installer without customization, you must instruct your end users to install your WebClient application as a separate installation step.
