Deploying a Client Application That Uses an ActiveX Proxy

To deploy a client application that uses an ActiveX proxy, you must first perform the following steps in the specified order on the system where you plan to run the application:

  1. Copy the required files for the client application and proxy to the deployment system:
    1. Copy the client application.
    2. Copy the proxy (.dll file) to any directory on the system.
    3. Copy the Open Client Runtime package to any directory on the system. For more information, see the "Selecting an Open Client Runtime Package" section.
    4. Copy the ActiveX Open Client support library (Progress-Install-Directory\bin\o4glactivex.dll) to any directory on the system.
  2. If you are using digital certificates, copy your digital certificates to the location required by the Open Client application. For more information, see the "Managing Digital Certificates" section.
  3. Update the CLASSPATH environment variable to include the Open Client Runtime package you copied in Step 1.
  4. If you do not have Version 5.00.3182 or later of the Microsoft JVM on your machine, run msjavx86.exe to install the Microsoft JVM and related Java classes. You can find msjavx86.exe on the Progress installation CD or you can obtain it from the Microsoft Web site.
  5. Register the proxy by running Microsoft’s RegSvr32.exe on the proxy .dll file.
  6. Register the ActiveX Open Client support library by running Microsoft’s RegSvr32.exe on the o4glActiveX.dll file.
  7. Run your ActiveX Open Client application as designed.
