Which file on the DVD should I select to install front end gui

[Former Member]

Hello Basis gurus

I am trying to install the Front End Gui on my laptop (SAP GUI for Windows 7.20).

The older versions had a file called SETUP.EXE which I used to select to install the Front End Gui.

However, on this CD I don't see that file.

I read the Installation Guide which gives 2 scenarios.

1. Creating an installation server and then use that to install on different systems on the network.

2. Taking the CD to each windows client and install it directly from the CD.

However, the installation guide explains the scenario 1, installing using installation server.

There is no explanation of how to do the installations directly from CD. Since I don't see the setup.exe file, I don't know what else to do. Has anyone done this? If so could you please let me know. I would appreciate it.

Thanks a lot

If you are talking about the NW 7.0 Presentation DVD/CD for the SAP GUI 7.20 installer, once extracted, I believe the setup you are looking for is located here:

Under NW_7.0_Presentation\PRES1\GUI\WINDOWS\WIN32

From that location you should see the setup executeables.

SapBiSetup.exe

SapGuiSetup.exe

SetupAll.exe

If you run the SapGuiSetup.exe, that should install 7.20 for you.

If you run the SetupAll.exe, that will present you with options you want to have installed along witht he SAP GUI. (Business Explorer, Engineering Client Viewer, etc.Planning Grid, KW Add-On, etc)
