HANA client installation ODBO error

[Former Member]

I am trying to install HANA client into my Windows 7 machine. Everything installed but the ODBO  package failed. The error points to system32 folder missing in the windows registry. Have anybody run into this and have a solution? I have attached a screenshot here.

I installed HANA client into another windows 7 machine before and it successfully installed without any error.

Hi Flavia,

The error is because System could not find System Directory in Registory.

For this you need to manually create a registry.

In your Windows, go to run and type "regedit" and hit enter.

• After that Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control->Windows
• After that add a string variable by the name "SystemDirectory":

          Right Click in the Blank space on the frame in the right workspace

          New->StringValue

          Give Name as “SystemDirectory”

• After this Set its value as your system32 path.

          Right click on new variable created in the last step.

• Modify->Give value as your System32 path. Generally    “C:/Windows/System32"

After this install HANA Client again

Hello

I would suggest that you restart the system and run the update right

after, before running any other process.

Hope this can help you.
