GOAL:
How to properly rename the OpenEdge GUI client, prowin32.exe, to allow it execute GUI for .NET Applications without errors?
GOAL:
How do I show my application's name instead of the prowin32.exe name in the Image Name column of the Windows Task Manager Processes tab?
GOAL:
How to make Windows Task Manager display the name of your running application instead of the prowin32.exe name in its Image Name column of its Processes tab?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
OpenEdge 10.1x
OpenEdge 10.2x
FIX:
To rename the prowin32.exe OpenEdge GUI client to allow it execute GUI for .NET and other OpenEdge Applications without errors, rename the files prowin32.exe, prowin32.exe.config and prowin32.exe.manifest to myExecutable.exe, myExecutable.exe.config and myExecutable.exe.manifest respectively, where myExecutable is the name you want for the new executable.
This will allow you to run any OpenEdge application by simply replacing the prowin32.exe executable with myExecutable.exe in the command line or the short cut that starts your application. This will also make the Windows Task Manager display the name myExecutable.exe instead prowin32.exe in its Image Name column of its Processes tab.
