Installing WebClient
You must make an installation available to install WebClient on the user’s machine. Progress provides a default InstallShield image that you can customize to install WebClient. You can also refer the user to or provide a link to a page on the Progress Web site that the user can use to run a WebClient installation.
Your Progress installation CD includes the following WebClient install images:
For more information about copying theses install images to your system, see the "Accessing the WebClient Installation Files" section.
For a Web-enabled install, you can set up a WebClient installation Web page to be one of the following:
- A Progress-supplied Web page (
webclient.htm
file). You can customize this file to start your application installation after WebClient is installed.- An application-specific Web page of your own design. The logic for this page should run the WebClient One-Click Install directly, rather than bringing up the Progress default WebClient One-Click Install Web page (which requires the user to click another button). To do this, you can copy the logic from the
webclient.htm
file to your own Web page.Though you cannot customize the CD-ROM image, Progress Software strongly recommends that you customize the One-Click Install. For more information, about customizing the WebClient installation, see the "Customizing the WebClient Installation" section.
NOTE: Whatever Web page you provide for the user to access the WebClient installer, you must specify the URL for this page in both thebootstrap.htm
file and in the WebClient Install URL field of the WebClient Application Assembler’s WebClient tab.
