SAPGUI 720 installation error with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

actually we are setting up a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT, maybe better known as BDD which is the old name) image for our new Windows 7 clients.

So I upgraded our SAPGUI 710 installation share to 720 and installed SAPGUI 720 patch level 3.

When I run the installation from a Windows 7 clients everything works just beautiful. I used following command to install SAPGUI:

defumss0601\SAPGUI720_INSTSERVER\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /package:"_KURZ Standard GUI (local)" /nodlg

This command line is configured in MDT!

When a client will be automatically deployed through MDT we get one error (RC 144):

09:03:24 NwSapFeiKr 2E Module msvcp90.dll is unresolved

09:03:24 NwSapFeiKr 2E Module msvcr90.dll is unresolved

So some .dll can't be registered or whatever. The log file on the Windows 7 client where it was working says:

Hello Tony,

i'm sure thet the installation of the

vc9_redist_x86.msi

is damaged

Please see the other logfiles....

NwSapSetup_Vc9Rt_x86.log

I think it is better to open an "OSS" message for this problems...

Best regards

Hi Sven,

thanks for your reply.

I've executed vc9_redist_x86.msi on the installation server and after that I let my colleague test the MDT installation. He said the installation succeeded without any erros - so I guess this was the error.

What I don't really understand is why this error only in MDT installations occured.

Best regards,
