EDIdEv Framework EDI (FREDI) installation

Installing FREDI involves the following few steps:

  1. Download the latest version of FREDI from our Customer Support Website at www.EDIdEv.com.
  2. Read the license agreement.  If you agree, select Accept, then click Next.
  3. Follow the instructions on each screen.

When FREDI is installed successfully, you should see in the Windows Program browser, a program group "EDIdEv Development Kit" with three utilities: eFilemanager, eAnalayzer and the SEF Manager along with  some sample programs, and the Help Documentation.  For the FREDI Enterprise Edition, two additional utilities are included: eSecurityConsole and ISAPI Extension Console.  The FREDI COM files are installed in the BIN subdirectory of the target path that you had specified. These DLL files are what your application will be accessing when processing EDI files.

When upgrading, these files will overwrite older versions of existing files. Some files are dependent on other files so certain files have to be installed and registered before the depending file is installed. The following files are installed in the order listed.

Edidev_SEC.dll Standard Error Code reference component

Edidev_Service.dll Basic services component

Note that FREDI v 5.2 installers will replace an existing .NET hybrid "EDIdEv.FrameworkEDI.NET.dll" file with a later version of the file.  This is true for both installing and updating.  Since the .NET hybrid component is not an isolated application, it is not a side-by-side assembly and there can only be one .NET hybrid in the system.

The following Windows system files may get installed with Framework EDI.  These files are copied into the Windows System directory and will overwrite only older versions. 

 

The following program is installed in the windows system directory, and is used to uninstall the Framework EDI components.  The uninstaller does not delete or modify windows system core components.  The uninstaller also does not revert the installed version of the system files to the older version.
