After installing the OpenEdge Client Networking MSI, the 4399 error is caused because Progress client executable's require a progress.cfg file containing Client Networking licensing information in order to run. Without the licensing information obtained from a .cfg file, the client is limited to shared memory connections only.
The OpenEdge Client Networking MSI does not require licensing information and therefore does not create a progress.cfg file containing product license information as part of the MSI install routine
The stand alone client networking installer expects that a progress.cfg file containing the required licensing information will be provided when the MSI is deployed by Active Directory, silently or interactively with an Install Wizard.
Obtaining a Client Networking progress.cfgApart from creating a license configuration file by running a Client Networking install, which continues to be available as part of
the OpenEdge installer, the required progress.cfg can be more easily obtained by creating a customised license file through the
Customer Self Service portal. For further information refer to Article:
Providing the License Configuration file when deploying the Client Networking MSI A Client Networking cfg file can be made available for the Client Networking MSI by :
- Setting the PROCFG environment variable prior to running the MSI install: set PROCFG=\\server\path\progress.cfg Note that if the progress.cfg file is placed in the Progress install directory the environment variable will not need to be set.
- Copying the Client Networking progress.cfg file to the Install Directory (%DLC%) post install.
