Throughout this document, OpenEdge-install-dir represents the directory into which the OpenEdge software is installed. The default OpenEdge installation directory is C:\Progress\OpenEdge. However, during installation, you can choose a different location.

A working directory is a directory that contains your OpenEdge database and application files. The installation program prompts you to create a working directory from which to run OpenEdge. The working directory must always be separate from the OpenEdge installation directory.

CAUTION: Never run OpenEdge products from the directory in which you installed them. If you do, you could damage the OpenEdge software files.
