To set up a shared network installation on your network server, complete the following tasks:

  1. Uninstall any existing OpenEdge or Progress products that are installed on client machines to which you will be installing OpenEdge.
  2. Review the Windows-specific OpenEdge installation topics described in Before You Install.
  3. Determine the destination location of your OpenEdge installation on the network. You will be prompted to enter this information during the network installation, and when you use NetSetup to install the connecting clients.
  4. On your network server:
    1. Run the OpenEdge installation.
    2. When the Choose Destination And Working Path Directories dialog box appears, make a note of the location you type in the Destination Directory field. You will need this directory path information when you install on each client machine.
    3. Complete the OpenEdge installation on the server.
