Windows Registry Unable to read registry durign adding new ABAP Project to Eclipse

[schmelto]

When trying to add a new ABAP Project to Eclipse Workspace following Problem occurs:

Error during access to Windows Registry Unable to read registry value.
Root=HKCU, key=Software\SAP\SAPLogon\Options, name=LandscapeFileOnServer, type=REG_EXPAND_SZ

Someone know how to solve this issue?

Note: I use Eclipse 2021-09 and the latest ABAP Development Tools.

Update: I also tried it on Eclipse 2021-03 with the latest ABAP Development Tools there.

did you check with regedit if the key exist ?

I do have the same problem right now - no idea how to fix this

[schmelto]

Maybe take a look at the keys here. For me those settings should be migrated on Tuesday and for my college those settings work for now.

Otherwise you can ignore the error and add the System manually.

Manuell is no problem, but i would like to use the logonpad

The type is not the same, no ? REG_SZ in your regedit & REG_EXPAND_SZ for eclipse.

Did you try to change it ?

[schmelto]

I can't change the type in regedit.

I think you can do whatever you want with Regedit.exe

Just delete and recreate it.

Isn't there a SAP note for such a problem?

Can you open a command prompt or PowerShell window and try:

reg query HKCU\Software\SAP\SAPLogon\Options /v LandscapeFileOnServer

Does this work? What does it return?

$ reg query HKCU\Software\SAP\SAPLogon\Options /v LandscapeFileOnServer

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPLogon\Options
    LandscapeFileOnServer    REG_SZ    http://deingplm01:9999/SAPUILandscape_BC.xml

It works now. We have updated the saplogon.ini to SAPUILandscape.xml in the last week after this change the windows registry error seems to disapear.

We have updated the saplogon.ini to SAPUILandscape.xml this resolved the issue.

I have the same problem. Different key type than expected.

Solution was to change / recreate the key with other type REG_EXPAND_SZ which Eclipse is looking for as you see on your screen. Firstly delete and than create a new one.

could be done with windows command line CMD

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SAP\SAPLogon\Options /v LandscapeFileOnServer

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SAP\SAPLogon\Options /v LandscapeFileOnServer /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d false
