Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
SYMPTOM(s):
Launching a progress executable fails with msgOpen unable to open message file error:
Client executables fail to launch with msgOpen unable to open message file error
msgOpen: unable to open message file: PROMSGS
Proutil commands execute without problems.
CAUSE:
The DLC and PATH environment variables are not properly set and/or exported.
Proutil commands run because DLC is set and exported by the proutil command. Progress clients and the prodel utility will fail to launch because they need DLC set and exported properly prior to its execution.
FIX:
Set and export the DLC and PATH environment variables properly before executing the Progress prodel command.
On UNIX platform:
DLC=/apps/progress/dlc;export DLC
PATH=$DLC:$DLC/bin:$PATH;export PATH
On Windows 98 platform:
Set and export the DLC and PATH environment variables before executing the application.
Open the c:\autoexec.bat file set the following:
If Progress is installed in the x drive in a folder called Progress.
SET DLC=x:\progress
PATH=$DLC;%DLC%/bin;%PATH%
