Skyward Terminology Glossary PaC
Point and Click software that is written by and licensed to Skyward, Inc. The PaC Client is also
named the Full Client or GUI (Graphical User Interface) Client.
Install Folder
The ?:\skyward\install directory that is created by the Skyward Software Distribution Install.exe. It
contains folders and files for OpenEdge 11.7, Sun Java, Microsoft .NET, and other files needed for
the Skyward PaC Client install.
Skyward DLC Directory
This is the location where Progress OpenEdge (OE) 11.7 executable files are installed. The folder is
created in the ?:\skyward\ folder.
Skyward Programs
The programs Skyward developers write to make the Skyward products functional. Skyward
programs are delivered as Releases, Addendum(s), and RMA(s) and are accessed by the PaC clients
using a mapped drive or UNC path.
One Set of Skyward Programs
Skyward software needs to have a folder structure that contains compiled-programs that ‘run’ the
PaC or Web products. All Skyward servers may have a single copy of the programs. Example
?:\skyward for Student/Combined or ?:\skyward\skyfin for Business.
Two sets of Skyward Programs
If you are running two sets of programs, all Skyward servers will have a folder structure of
?:\skyward and ?:\skyward\skyfin. Two sets of Skyward programs allow the student/combined and
business systems to be updated separately via Monolith system.
Program Server
The Program server is a separate server used as the source for the set of SMS programs for the
Finance PaC Client users. A drive letter or UNC path is assigned to a ?:\Skyward folder on the
Program File Share server. This network path is where PaC Clients ‘read’ the Skyward programs
from. The programs can reside on a Windows or Novell server and are updated by the Monolith
system. Skyward does not recommend using a database\web\report server to share the Skyward
programs. Skyward recommends that the mapping to the folder share is to ?:\skyward and not to
?:\skyward\skyfin as the installers and shortcut icons are written by default to \skyward and
\skyward\skyfin folder structures. This implies that the Share is to the \skyward folder and then the
path of \skyward\skyfin is allowed.

PaC Client File and Registry Permission Requirements
Notes:
• The PaC Client Installation .exe or .msi should not be used on Skyward Database/Web/Report
Queue/ExComm/OEM servers. The PaC Client has already been installed on these servers when
the 11.7 – SMS 2.0 – Base Install was run.
• A “?” is used to reference the mapped/UNC network drive/path to the Skyward Program Server.
Substitute the mapped drive letter or UNC path in place of the “?”
• Registry Entries added when the PaC Client is installed.
o The OCX registration process runs when you install PaC It will no longer run when you
launch the PaC Client.
o On 32-bit OS PaC client workstations, the Windows registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ PSC\Progress.
o On 64-bit OS PaC client workstations, the Windows registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\PSC\Progress.
• Local Folder permissions required for non-Administrator accounts.
o If PaC client users are not local administrators they require Read and Execute permissions to
?:\skyward and subfolders and Read, List, Execute, Write, and Modify file system
permissions to the working folder of ?:\skyward\wrk.
• Program server Skyward drive NTFS permissions
o PaC client users need Read permission to the Skyward Program Server Skyward Drive; ex.?:
\skyward and Read / Write /.Modify permissions to the eSign folder, if used.
• Antivirus
o Current Antivirus should be installed on every Skyward workstation.
o Real-time protection exclusions should be set for ?\skyward\wrk\*

Pac Client Install
The PaC Client can be installed with either the .exe or the .msi install files. You do not have to run both files
on a workstation.
The .exe file is a shell installer where you follow screens to gather information for the installer. A mapped
drive/unc path needs to be connected to the Program server’s \install folder while the installer is run as that is
where it gets the setup.exe and software to run.
The .msi file is an installer that included the 11.7 Client setup.exe and software to install. The installer does
not need the mapped drive/unc path to be connected when running. The .msi file installs by default to C
drive on the workstation and edits the registry to have mapped drive S to the Program server. The mapping
to S drive should be set to the root of the Skyward folder, ?:\skyward.
If you choose to run the .msi install file but you do not use S as the mapped drive you can edit a .reg file to
updated the registry to another drive letter.
You choose what section to follow below:
PaC Client Install Using 11.7 – SMS 2.0 – PaC Workstation Install.exe
PaC Client Install Using 11.7 – SMS 2.0 – PaC Workstation Install.msi

Registry File to Change Propath
When the 11.7 – SMS 2.0 - PaC Workstation Install.msi is run the default drives is C for where to install
the 11.7.2 PaC Client software and S for the mapped drive letter to the Program server for the Skyward set of
programs. So this means that the registry entry for the Program server will be s:\ for the ?:\skyward folder
and s:\skyfin for ?:\skyward\skyfin folder. If the letter S is not the letter that is the mapped drive letter, then
the registry will need to be changed for the PaC Client to run successfully on the workstation.
Registry Entries added when the PaC Client is installed
• The OCX registration process runs when you install PaC It will no longer run when you launch the
PaC Client.
• On 32-bit OS PaC client workstations, the Windows registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ PSC\Progress.
• On 64-bit OS PaC client workstations, the Windows registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\PSC\Progress.
Registry to Change ProPath – 32 Bit client.reg
Registry file that needs to be merged to each 32-bit workstation’s registry when the .msi file is used as the
workstation installer.
The contents of the .reg file is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\STU\WinChar Startup]
"PROPATH"=".,S:\\,C:\\Skyward\\DLC\\tty"

bit level that is installed on the workstation; 32-bit vs 64-bit. → Save.
Skyward recommends that the mapping to the folder share is to ?:\skyward and not to ?:\skyward\skyfin as
the installers and shortcut icons are written by default to \skyward and \skyward\skyfin folder structures.
This implies that the Share is to the \skyward folder and then the path of \skyward\skyfin is allowed.
The S:\\ and S:\\skyfin entries in the file needs to be updated to the mapped drive letter that will be used for
the Program server set of programs. Ex. L as shown below.
4. Double click on the .reg file just edited.
5. Choose Yes to continue.

Automating the 11.7 PaC Client Installation using the Microsoft Installer
package.
Note: The PaC Client Installer should NOT be run on ANY Skyward Database/Web/Report
Queue/ExComm/OEM servers. The PaC Client has been installed on these servers when the 11.7 – SMS 2.0
– Base Install was run.
1. Add the Microsoft Installation Package to Active Directory or any 3rd party applications that
support installing application’s MSI files whether MS PowerShell Scripts or Login Scripts.
