No add-ons work

[Former Member]

Hi,

Suddenly no add-ons work on my SAP Business one 2005A Patch level 29 installation. The only major thing I did in the recent past was issue a license to my server.

Installation of any add-on gives the following message :-

Error to the path is denied

then this message :

EndInstallEx returned -2

then :

Add-on installation failed or was aborted by the user

What could have happened ?

I have deleted SM_OBS_DLL and the problem still persists.

How could this happen ? I really hope I don't have to re-install SAP.

Hi Martin,

Make sure that your Add-On is not running.

You can stop eventually the process of the exe of your Add-On.

You can try to delete this file in your SAP Business One's directory :

AddOnsInstall.sbo

AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo

Hope it's help you.

I have deleted both

AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo

AddOnsInstall.sbo

and noticed that AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo is not being automatically created when I register the add-on again.

All these files are there in my add on folder

Interop.SAPbouiCOM.dll,

Interop.SAPbobsCOM.dll and Exe , Ard.

Martin,

have you upgraded your DI API as well for patch 29?

Yes I have, but the problem still persists.

A little history here..

Before this error I encountered the error that says another version is currently running please change the version of the add-on to a higher one.

I deleted the file AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo as per advice on this forum and that is where this problem started. But even after replacing it manually by copying it back the same error is still there...

Hi

I had also faced this problem.U just make a new addon with different name and different version. Keep in mind that both the name and version should not be used before in any other company..Then start the addon... It will work...

Thank you for your help. Am very grateful.

After a thorough analysis of the my SAP installation, other softwares and the problems I have been having lately such as a failed DTW, I decided to make a clean up with a registry cleaner.

This did the trick and its now working OK.

Once again, Thank you very much.

you need access to your temp folder

to view temp folder go to start run %temp% --- sap writes a folder called SM_OBS_DLL to that directory.

if you have no authority to do the writing and the folder isn't there this error can ensue.

On closer observation I have realised that not even these files

Interop.SAPbobsCOM.dll

Interop.SAPbouiCOM.dll

and others are being installed. These were all originally included in the add-on. Which were all working fine.

What could be blocking this ??
