sapgui 7.10 patch 9 break "something" in IE 7

[Former Member]

Hi All

AM experiencing a strange problem .. on machines that had sapgui 7.10 patch 2, upgrading til patch 9, something breaks inside IE 7, to prevent opening of new windows in IE 7 on all pages.

So basically sapgui 7.10 works perfectly, but afterwards browsing on the internet, all pages opening a new page automatically get a blank page. alle settings in IE 7 are good (pop-up windows allowed and so on).

Even more strange .. this happens ONLY on machines where IE 7 is the first browser to be installed, on machines that previously had IE 6, this dosent happen.

Searching a bit, I find that perhaps MSHTML.DLL needs to be re-registrered, but apparently this is not possible in IE 7 (regsvr32 claims that there is no entry point in the DLL).

Reinstalling IE7 ofcourse solves the problem, but the amount of workstations possibly affected is pretty large (around 50.000 all in all).

Any ideas ?

Hi Kim Sonny

please register the file mshtml.tlb !

(Sapregsv.exe mshtml.tlb )

That will solve this problems !

Please also have a look at the note 1159538 !!!

This is GREAT Sven ! thanks a million !

As a additional question, there is no "mass" way of performing the reset to defaults on Vista machines ? or a similiar fix registering the MSHTML.TLB file ?

In large installations (like ours) it could be a problem performing the manuel steps for Vista on many machines ....

SAPGui 7.10 patch 13 shows the same error. Pop-ups gives a blank screen. c:\program files\sap\sapsetup\setup\"sapregsv.exe mshtml.tlb" solves the issue

Same symptom, different cause: 3rd-party toolbars.

People are sometimes inadvertently installing Google Toolbar into their Internet Explorer.

This also causes the 'popup blocker' to appear when running BI Web Query,

We disable the Google Toolbar and then the BI Web Query works fine.

I guess this symptom might apply to other 'convenient' toolbars as well.

Sounds like IE7 lost a piece you will probably need to re-register a dll it is the most common fix for the blank page issue, see if this works

Start | run

regsvr32 /s urlmon.dll

Have not seen this we are running SAP GUI patch level 9 and IE7.
