Hi,

For those who might encounter a similar problem, I manage to solve the problem by installing the DCOM Connector from the same SAP GUI CD (ver 6.2). I had the impression to download the DCOM Connector from sap.com but they have the 4.6D version which causes a problem if you are using a higher version of SAP Gui. The rule of thumb is to install the RFC SDK and DCOM Connector from the the same SAP GUI CD.

Just note that DCOM Connector is reaching End-of-life.

Cheers,

Kelvin
