Deploy a .NET Open Client application using a .NET proxy

To deploy a client application that uses a .NET proxy, you must first perform certain steps on the system where you plan to run the application.

To deploy a client application that uses a .NET proxy:

1. Install the Microsoft .NET Redistributable Framework Version 4.8 or later.
2. Copy the required files for the client application and proxy:
   1. Copy the client application.
   2. Copy the proxy assembly (.dll file) to the directory required by the client application.
   3. Copy the OpenEdge .NET Open Client Runtime assemblies (Progress.o4glrt.dll and Progress.Messages.dll) and the message resource files from the ProxyGen output directory to the directory required by the client application or, if the assemblies are strong-named, you can install them into the .NET Global Assembly Cache.
      Note: The Global Assembly Cache is only for .NET Framework. For .NET applications, the open client runtime assemblies should be deployed into the application deployment directory.
   4. Run your .NET Open Client application as designed.
