Dear All,
Is there any way I can download the latest SAP Gui that can cater for both Window 7 64 bits and Office 2010 64 bit?
I tried the latest 7.20 patch 7 but was not able to use the BW reports in the BW Browser.
Whenever I double - clicked a report in the BW Browser, it always prompt me the below errors.
Compile Error:
The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems.
Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute.
Below is the Declare statements
Private Declare Function RegCreateKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegCreateKeyExA" ( _
ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, _
ByVal lpClass As String, ByVal dwOptions As Long, ByVal samDesired As Long, _
lpSecurityAttributes As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, phkResult As Long, lpdwDisposition As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegOpenKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyExA" ( _
ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal ulOptions As Long, _
ByVal samDesired As Long, phkResult As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegSetValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegSetValueExA" ( _
ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, _
ByVal dwType As Long, lpData As Any, ByVal cbData As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RegDeleteValue Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegDeleteValueA" ( _
ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String) As Long
' Note that if you declare the lpData parameter as String, you must pass it ByVal
Private Declare Function RegQueryValueEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegQueryValueExA" ( _
ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, ByVal lpReserved As Long, _
lpType As Long, lpData As Any, lpcbData As Long) As Long
' Note that if you declare the lpData parameter as String, you must pass it ByVal
Private Declare Function RegCloseKey Lib "advapi32.dll" (ByVal hKey As Long) As Long
Would appreciate if anyone can guide me through to solve the problem?
Many thanks and Best Regards

Hello Sandra,
Since SAPGui for Windows is a 32-bit application, it's technically not possible to use the 64-bit Office edition with the
7.20 Gui (regardless of patch).
SAP are aware of the growing popularity of 64-bit applications,and are planning a SAPGui that will be compatible for 64-bit
applications in the future.
Please refer to the following note for details.
1442028 SAP GUI for Windows 7.20: No support for Office 2010 64-bit
Kindly Regards,
Jude

Hi
This is BW-specific question.
see SAP Note 1425805, it was written:
================
Support to 64 bit versions
All the Operating Systems are supported for both 32 bit version as well
as 64 bit version. But this is not the case for Office versions now.
Office 64 bit versions are NOT supported for BEx tools for the moment.
============
To use bex analyzer, install office 2010 32bits or office 2007.
and also recommend you to execute the frontend installation check as per
SAP note 1229206 to make sure there has no RED in the check result.
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Sandra
Unfortunately even with SAP GUI 730, there is only a 32-bit version available. No news as yet on whether the successor to SAP GUI 730 (expected next year 2015) will include a 64-bit version.
With regards to SAP BW Business Explorer, an alternative to consider when using Office 2010/2013 64-bit, is you can use the SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office 1.4 Excel add-in as this has both available a 32-bit and 64-bit version.

Derek
