unable to install sap gui 6.4

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to install SAP GUI640 on my machine (Windows XP).

In the middle of the installation, I'am getting an

error like:

Your computer needs to be restarted due to pending system changes. It is not safe to continue without a reboot.

I have restarted the system. But it is displaying the same error.

How do i resolve it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try this out.

When it asks to reboot your system opt for no and try.

Sometimes ago i got the same prob and i didnt opt for restarting the system and it worked fine.

Hi,

Pl check the sapsetup.log file located in c:\windows folder. It gives you some worthy information to shoot the trouble.

Further run the command sapsetup /check and analyse the outcome.

Pl refer to sap note 508649.

Hope this helps.

Dear...

I have gone through the message. It is a case of infection of VIRUS. Pls run latest antivirus then unistall the previous SAP GUI and fresh install it. I think this will help you.

Hi

The SAPGui installation looks at the registry key PendingFileRenamOperations (you find it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager).

It's possible that a other Software doesn't delete his key after the reboot. It's described in SAP Note 542927.

Is this a fresh installation or do you have an earlier version of SAPgui loaded on the machine?

Hmmm.... interesting, when I got this message before, I just rebooted and it continued with the installation. Maybe try to remove the sapgui directory, if it was not removed during deinstallation. Should be under c:\program files\sap\frontend\sapgui.

REgards,

Hi,

maybe some other installation did not clean up properly. I think you may just continue with the installation after the first reboot and ignore the error message. At least that's what I do

Best regards,
