Hi,

Please check files on your drive c:\windows if windows is installed in c:\. When you set-up the frontend it will create saplogon.ini file in the windows directory and not in the software installation directory i.e. c:\SAP.

When you uninstall the frontend you can remove this .ini file from the c:\windows or you can still keep using these settings from the new SAP frontend version.

Hope this helps.

Yes because saplon.ini files will be still there in your system after uninstalling the SAP GUI also, so when you install the latest GUI it pick up from there, and you are able to see the old GUI setting into logon pad.

Hi Subhash,

I have installed the latest version of GUI. It is working for other systems. It migth not be the issue of the Software. Some other thing that is required. I installed all the prerequisites. But coule not figure out what else is needed.

Need your inputs.

thank you

Hello Dorcas,

What is the error message you are getting when you try to conenct from Bex . You have to installed the BI Addon's also for new BEX anayzer. You can find the same in SMP on downloads section check the BI patch that needs to be installed for current BEx anaylzer.

Hi Subhash,

That is working for other client systems without any Add-ons. Infact any system i install. But not the one i am trying to install. It is some other prerequisite that is needed.

I installed the latest Full version of Microsoft .NET 2.0, SP for Office etc.... What else do i need?
