Problems Running SAP GUI 7.20

[#1]

Hi-

I tried installing the SAP GUI 7.20, but I encountered some issues running it. The installation process ran fine and said it finished successfully, but the logon pad will not start up. When I tried to start it, I see the SAP intro screen for a second, then it disappears and nothing else happens. I check the task manager, and no processes seemed to start on my PC, either.

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise Edition.

I first tried installing 7.20 on top of a 7.10 patch 17 GUI. When that didn't work, I re-installed 7.10 patch 17, then I un-installed it - thinking I missed that step the first time. I then installed 7.20 again. The 1st time I tried to run it I received a Windows message for an "abnormal program termination". From that point on, the behavior was as I mentioned above.

Any ideas?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. So - I uninstalled my SAP GUI 7.10. Then I went in and cleaned out the registry. After reinstalling, it still didn't work.

The message was from "Microsoft C++ Libraries", so I went and uninstalled all of the C++ libraries on my PC with SAP as an author (which was all of them).

I then re-installed 7.20 again - and I still got the "Abnormal Program Termination" message.

Any other advice?

Thanks,

Mark
