A new feature allows users to add Product Components or Subcomponents to existing Progress 9.1 and later installations without having to reinstall Progress.
Product Components or Subcomponents can be added to existing Progress 9.1x and later installations without entering any data other than selecting the required components or subcomponents. In earlier Progress versions it is necessary to reinstall Progress and execute the
Custom Install setup type; these steps are removed with this new Add feature.

8. Press RETURN. When the installation is complete, Progress returns to the UNIX system prompt.
After Adding Product Components or Subcomponents:Prior to OpenEdge 11.7, if a Service Pack was previously installed, the Progress/OpenEdge Service Pack needs to be reinstalled. This is required because a newly installed product from the install media can overwrite files that a later Service Pack updated.
Since the OpenEdge 11.7.5 Service Pack, additional product components can be added installed without the need to reinstall the Service Pack.
OpenEdge Service Pack install bundles 11.7.1 through to 11.7.4 (inclusive) do not allow additional components to be added. This was a result of the feature change introduced in OpenEdge 11.7 Service Packs where it is possible to perform a full 11.7 OpenEdge install by only downloading and installing the 11.7.x Service Pack media, without having an existing installation already in place like previous versions require. To add additional components, the 11.7.0 FCS needs to be reinstalled, which allows adding additional product licenses. Following the OpenEdge 11.7.0 installation, the Service Pack must be reinstalled.If the installation previously had an OpenEdge Hotfix, it needs to be reapplied adding Components to the installed product. OpenEdge Hotfixes remain outside of the installer.
