How to make an application icon on the desktop for a WebClient application?
GOAL:
What is the command string to invoke a WebClient application on Windows?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
In some situations (either if no icon was created on the system desktop or it was deleted) it may be necessary to recreate a WebClient application icon on the Desktop.
Pre-Requisites to making an icon or determining the command string to invoke the WebClient Application:
1) The Progress / OpenEdge WebClient package has been installed.
2) A webclient application was already installed on the system.
The default location for the WebClient executables to be installed is:
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Progress Software\WebClient
In the registry the normal keys which will be created when a WebClient application is installed will be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\<Vendor Name>\<Application Name>
In the above reference <Vendor Name> refers to the Vendor name defined through the WebClient Assembler.
In the above reference <Application Name> refers to the Application name defined through the WebClient Assembler.
After identifying the installation location, vendor name and application name perform the following steps:
1) Right mouse click an empty section of the desktop and select the option New and the option shortcut in that menu.
2) In dialog window put a double quote symbol, fill in the path leading to the prowcini.exe filethen put a closing double quote symbol.
Example using the default installation path:
"c:\Program Files\Progress Software\WebClient\prowcini.exe"
3) Click Next
4) Enter the Application name as the name of the Short Cut
5) Click Finish
6) Right mouse click the new icon.
7) Select properties
8) Click in the fillin field next to "Target".
9) Scroll all the way to the right within the "Target" fillin field.
10) Add a double quote symbol.
11) Add the Vendor Name for the WebClient Application.
12) Add a forward slash symbol /
13) Add the Application Name for the WebClient Application.
14) Add a double quote symbol.
15) Add -s
16) Click on Change Icon
17) Navigate to the existing WebClient installation directory (normally within c:\Program Files\WebClientApps\<VendorName>\<ApplicationName> )
18) Click on \ the .ico file associated with the vendor's Application
19) Click Open
20) Within the large section title "Select an icon from the list below:" pick the preferred icon to represent the application
21) Click OK
22) Click OK
The Icon should now exist on the desktop.
