The Project Name.mscada file can then be used with Flowcode runtime as a standalone application.

There are two ways to run the .mscada deployed App Developer file.

This only requires setting up once.

Within project explorer, browse to App Developer folder within Flowcode installation directory.

Now the .mscada can be run by right-clicking on the Flowcode Runtime.exe - Shortcut and select open, or double clicking on the shortcut.

After the app is opened select Open Program and browse to .mscada project file.

Any .mscada files opened will appear under the Recent heading when Flowcode Runtime.exe is closed and opened the next time.

Standalone single .mscada files for customers who do not have Flowcode installed

If the customer does not have flowcode installed, you will need to send then the bundled Flowcode runtime.

Within in the source project for example My Project.*fcsx, select File > Export > Deploy as Flowocde App

A window will pop up giving you options on what will be avaiable within the App Developer applicaton.

Select Bundle App Developer Runtime at the bottom left of the window ,then click on Deploy

Browse to the desired location for the .mcsada App developer and runtime files then click Select Folder.
