Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1B
SYMPTOM(s):
msgOpen: unable to open message file: PROMSGS
Webclient application is tried to run manually.
-zdlc is not set.
CAUSE:
The parameter that defines the Webclient installation directory (-zdlc) was never defined.
FIX:
Launch the application using the Webclient Initializer so that that all relevant environments are set properly.
Progress WebClient is designed to run on a Web environment using the Progress AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA), or through the prowcapp file.
The application is launched by running the WebClient Initializer that performs certain housekeeping tasks and automatically executes the WebClient on the users behalf, using the parameters in the prowcapp file and in the Additional Startup Parameters section.
The WebClient Initializer includes a parameter to define where the WebClient installation directory is:
-zdlc.
For example: prowc.exe -zdlc c:\program files\webclient
When manually setting up the application, the WebClient Initializer does not run, and the parameter -zdlc is not included. The lack of this parameter causes errors to initialize the WebClient executable (prowc.exe).
