SAP GUI 7.10 - Tweak SAP GUI error

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello,

I'm currently packaging SAP 7.10 client for windows and I'm encountering an issue with the tool Tweak SAP GUI on several systems running Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1.

The script runs setup\NwSapSetup.exe /noDlg /force /Package="SAPGUI 7.10 Patch 1 with BW", and then installs Patch 2 and 3.

The problem also occurs with a manual installation of "SAPGUI 7.10 Patch 1 with BW" (without the patch 2 and 3)

There are no errors in setup log files and Framework .NET 2.0 is installed.

When starting "Tweak SAP GUI" I got a Microsoft .NET Framework error window :

"Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click

Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If

you click Quit, the application will close immediatly.

<b>\sapfront.dll."</b>

Details :

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

                            • JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

When I click Continue button on this error message, the applciation starts but I got the message "No SAP GUI has been installed on this machine" under "System Information".

Any help appreciated

Julien,

First I would slipstream the GUI patch 3 onto the installation server (share). Then repackage. The patches are cumulative, so there is no need to call both frontend patches. Calling two in a row without a reboot could cause some strange results.

Is sapfront.dll installed on the PC? It is not a .net assembly, sometimes the .Net errors are very hard to run down. I would try resetting all the .Net Security settings if the file is installed.

Regards,

John

Hello John,

thanks for the information regarding patches that are cumulative.

In current package, both patches where applied without any reboot.

So the error, might come from this.

I'll repackage and see if this helps.

Yes, sapfront.dll is on the PC, under C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui.

I've reseted the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 security settings via Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration panel in Administrative Tools, but it doesn't help.

I've slipstreamed the GUI patch 3 onto the installation server but it doesn't solve the issue.

64 bit computers? Are you installing locally?

The installation is started from a network share on 32 bits computers.
