You can add components and subcomponents to an existing OpenEdge installation without entering any data other than the required components or subcomponents.

To add components or subcomponents to a currently installed OpenEdge product, complete the following steps:

  1. Make sure that OpenEdge is not running in an open DOS window, and that the current directory is not any OpenEdge-related directory.
  2. Stop all OpenEdge processes, including your web server, and close all OpenEdge help files. Use the Task Manager to ensure that you stop all processes and close all help files.
  3. Choose Start > Progress > OpenEdge > Add Components.
  4. In the Products List dialog box, select the product to which you want to add components or subcomponents. Click Component...


  5. In the Components List dialog box, select the items you want to add to the existing installation. Once you have made a choice, click Next.


    Note: Only components and subcomponents that have not been previously installed appear in the Components List dialog box.
    Note: Repeat step 4 and 5 as needed.
  6. Click Finish to update the existing install.
    Note: If a system file in a newly added component or subcomponent is locked or busy during installation, a Reboot dialog box is displayed, which prompts you to reboot your system.
