The Deployment Packager is an integral part of the PRO*Tools suite and is installed with Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.

End users can also create their own custom deployment configurations with the Deployment Packager by working with the .prowcapc files that they receive from application developers. Since end users typically do not have access to Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, a standalone version of the tool and the required libraries is provided in a file named prowcdp.zip. You can distribute this version to your customers as appropriate.

Distributing and installing the standalone version

The prowcdp.zip file is installed in the OpenEdge bin directory. You can copy and distribute this single file to customers and other users. On the target system, extract the contents of the archive into a single directory. Then, in that directory, execute the following commands to register components:
regsvr32 psccab.dll
regsvr32 psccert.dll
regsvr32 pscsecreg.dll

You should see a success message after each command. The Deployment Packager is now ready for use.
