Installation of SAPPDFPRINT from GUI-Server

[vladimir_golovtchiner]

Hello SDN,

I need to install SAPPDFPRINT (xPdfPrint.exe) on several (>30) Windows-Clients lockaly. I have a GUI-Installation Server 7.20 runing and I read that it should be possible to install it from GUI - Installation Server.

Anny attemp to import SAPPDFPRINT as a new Produkt to Installation Server were sucsessless. GUI-Server don't want to recognise the file xPdfPrint.exe as a Produkt.

I appreciate any help.

Best regards

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

the procedure to import a product obtained as a self-extracting executable into an existing installation server is this:

extract the executable to a temporary directory:

xPdfPrint.exe /extract:c:\temp

Next you start the NwSapSetupAdmin from your installation server and choose "Import Product". In the wizard you navigate to the temporary directory from the previous step.

That should do it.

Best regards, Klaus-Georg
