hello,
we have following problem:
windows xp prof client sp2 - now we want to install the sap-gui version 6.40 patch 11 (sap-admin patch 20) as
unattended installation - but if we start the sapsetup.exe the windows client becomes failure:
unable to open/find /setup/sapsetup.xsc file.
we have checked - permission for the .xsc file, we have checked the local administrator rights and differnent installation variable /silent /update - always the same failure. i don't know ho to solve the problem.
i have also tested to start the sapsetup.exe file - it's the same failure.
if we copy all files from our network share into the local client - and start the same batch-script - it's working fine.
thanks
Hi Dietmar,
I can confirm your findings insofar as SP2 really introduces some restrictions on running applications from network shares. I've had problems with .NET framework API functions and even when opening CHM help files.
Maybe SapSetup also uses APIs that are no longer allowed when the process is started from a network share.
If you want to have this investigated in more detail, please report the problem on BC-FES-INS.
Best regards,
Christian

Hello,
I've tested to start the Application SAPSetup.exe without Parameters. It doesn't work. It's the same Failure missing .xsc.
But it was incredible - I have a new WindowsXP Prof. SP2 Client - it works- if i start the Installation with the Script. The Client is only installed with Windows - no other Application as Office or ...
Other WindowsXP Prof. SP2 Clients with German or English Languages - doesn't work - I have additional Chinese Windows XP SP2 Clients - it doesn't work.
I have disabled the complete local Firewall Settings - remove the Messenger Service - it doesn't work.
I think i will make a call by SAP.
Thanks

Hello,
Problem solved!
We use Novell Netware 6 SP5 with SAP-Admin etc.
The Problem was the Novell Netware Client for
Windows XP - we use Client Version 4.8 or 4.9 without
ServicePatch - now, we've tested the Netware Client 4.9 include SP2 - and - it's working fine.
Failure: UNC Path for the sapsetup.xsc.
Best regards
