...a question from one of my teammates:

(we recently moved to a non-SAP application to a test environment)..... "<i>To connect to the SAP environment we tried to install the SAP .net connector exe. But during the installation it prompted and asked for the Visual Studio IDE to be installed.

Do we need to have the Visual Studio .net for the SAP connector to work or is there any other way like regsitering some dlls to make it work?</i>"

Anyone know the answer?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Hi Brian,

You need Visual Studio IDE in order to develop with SAP .NET Connector, but

in order to run SAP .NET Connector in production environment you need only

its "runtime".

You need to install three DLLs from your development system:

- SAP.Connector.DLL - > C:\Windows\assembly

- SAP.Connector.Rfc.DLL - > C:\Windows\assembly

- LIBRFC32.DLL - > C:\Windows\system32

and 4 Microsoft dll's (SAP note 684106) :

- msvcr71.dll -> C:\Windows\system32

- msvcp71.dll -> C:\Windows\system32

- mfc71.dll -> C:\Windows\system32

- mfcu.dll -> C:\Windows\system32

Regards,

Rima.

Hi, Brian: If you use the SAP.Connector runtime version 2.0.0 in a productin enviroment only need the runtime assemblies SAP.Connector.dll v2.0.0 and SAP.Connector.Rfc.dll v2.0.0.0.

Brian,

According to the .net connector documentation it is tightly coupled with the Visual

Studio IDE--specifically, Visual Studio 2003. So, you must have or install Visual

Studio 2003 for the .net connector install to function correctly. You can import the

proxy project Visual Studio 2003 creates into Visual Studio 2005, but you cannot

create the proxy in 2005 and you cannot use the design-time components of

the .net connector in 2005. The run-time components, however, work just fine.

Best of luck.
