SAP GUI 7.10 on WinXP SP3

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I installed SAP GUI 7.10 on Windows XP machine with SP3 as Administrator on Limited user account.

The installation went fine though the desktop shortcut is broken. Was able to launch logon pad and connect to SAP server. But after i login, i encountered a MESSAGE_TYPE_X runtime error instead of SAP EASY access. I tried switching to Administrator user account, everything went fine. We tried this on two separate machines, with the same result. I didn't encounter this on SP2 machines.

Does anybody ever encountered this?

Is there any workaround without downgrading to SP2?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Friend,

Are you getting SAP logon screen after running following command,

sapgui <Appl-server IP> <SAPSID>

Please check, and let me know.

One more think I want to suggest may be all of you aware about it.

Do not uninstall SAP GUI from Windows Add/Remove programme, this kind of uninstall do not remove all the files from systems. So when you will install SAP GUI next time, installation can not overwrite old files. So it will give an error message.

So always use SAP GUI setup to uninstall it.

Friend,

Please follow the given steps. Unistall it first. Then install by using Administrator privilege. and let me know if your problem has resolved or not?

Regards,

Jayendra.

Hello Jaume,

Your installation of XP may be broken, or applications previously installed (including SP3, if you manually upgrade) might be causing the problem, at least this is my (and some in this thread) suspicion. Try installing SAP GUI on a fresh WinXP SP3 in a virtual machine and see if you'll encounter the same problem.

We solved this by re-installing WinXP SP3.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rayel

The problem in your system is not SP3 but a criminal called IE7. U can do a lot of R&D by uninstalling IE7 or maybe reinstalling it,BUT, SAP recommeded solution is that there is a perferctly patched SAP Gui to handle this situation called SAP Gui 640 release 23 which you can download at the following link..... (I know its odd to tell someone to download a lower version of gui ..... but .... this will help)

Hope this helps..

to install SAPGUI, you need administrative privileges.

[Former Member]

Hi

New Patch should solve the problem.

here no need to new patches ...

if you have 710 with winSP3 that is ok ...

catch your IT team to give sufficient privileges....

if short cut is broken then check GUI.ini file at system 32 and find also log file....

hope you will get the solution.

Are you have good installation DVD ? Looks like it's are broken ...

though the desktop shortcut is broken

it's not good ...

Try to check logs ... (Read in instguides how you can do it) -->

P.S. are trying install it direct login under Administrator account?

Regards.
