Setting Up the WebClient Install and Bootstrap Mechanism

Follow these steps to set up the WebClient install and bootstrap mechanism:

  1. Insert the Progress CDROM into the CDROM drive.
  2. Recursively copy the webinstall\webclient\web_image directory to the web_image subdirectory of your Web server’s document root directory.
  3. Edit the bootstrap.htm file (which was copied in Step 2) so it references your WebClient install image and your application configuration file as follows:
  4. In the bootstrap.htm file, replace the document.location.href and window.location URLs to match the location of your configuration and webclient.htm files, respectively.

    For example:

    document.location.href = "http://pctest/web_image/sportspro.prowcapc";

    window.location = "http://pctest/web_image/webclient.htm";

  5. Edit the webclient.htm file (which was copied in Step 2) as follows:
    1. Uncomment the lines that invoke the WebClient initializer. (Keep commented the lines that invoke the One-Click application install directly.)
    2. Change <URL to your .prowcapc file> to http://%MYWEBSERVER%/web_image/sportspro.prowcapc.
    3. For example:

      ether.SetProperty(“ProwcappURL”, “http://pctest/web_image/sportpro.prowcapc”);
