Alternatively, you can copy and paste the above into File Explorer.

Right-click on Flowcode Runtime.exe, Select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)

You should now see the shortcut on your desktop.

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.

Stand alone for customers who does not have Flowcode installed

If the customer does not have flowcode installed, to run the deployed .mscada file, you can zip up and send them the following files:

The path for your file explorer:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode v10\

You will need to select Yes to place the zip file on the Desktop.

Open the zip file and drag FlowcodeAppLauncherRenameMe.exe from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode v10\App Developer Launcher

to the zip file window.
