[former_member427293]

The following exception occurs, when i start an ABAP program from eclipse:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not start SAP GUI for Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\SapGuiServer.exe at com.sap.adt.sapgui.ui.internal.win32.embedding.WinGuiServerProxy$SapGuiServerProcess.start(WinGuiServerProxy.java:550) at com.sap.adt.sapgui.ui.internal.win32.embedding.WinGuiServerProxy.startGuiServerProcess(WinGuiServerProxy.java:161) at com.sap.adt.sapgui.ui.internal.win32.WinGuiFragment.getGuiServerProxy(WinGuiFragment.java:85) at com.sap.adt.sapgui.ui.internal.win32.embedding.EmbeddedWinGuiEditor.createEmbeddedGuiContent(EmbeddedWinGuiEditor.java:80) at com.sap.adt.sapgui.ui.internal.views.AbstractSapGuiWorkbenchPart.createPartControl(AbstractSapGuiWorkbenchPart.java:124) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.e4.compatibility.CompatibilityPart.createPartControl(CompatibilityPart.java:154) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.e4.compatibility.CompatibilityEditor.createPartControl(CompatibilityEditor.java:96) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.e4.compatibility.CompatibilityPart.create(CompatibilityPart.java:361) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:567) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.MethodRequestor.execute(MethodRequestor.java:58) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.processAnnotated(InjectorImpl.java:998) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.processAnnotated(InjectorImpl.java:963) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.internalInject(InjectorImpl.java:139) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.internalMake(InjectorImpl.java:408) at org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.InjectorImpl.make(InjectorImpl.java:331) at org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts.ContextInjectionFactory.make(ContextInjectionFactory.java:202)

I have currently Eclipse 2019-09 with SAP GUI 7.6 patch level 3. I have also tried several other versions (7.5 7.4 with various patch levels), always the same result. SAP GUI is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui.

It's really frustrating, i tried to re-install everything, always the same result. Can anyone help please?

thanks in advance!

regards,

Thomas

Did it use to work in previous versions of Eclipse ADT? Does SAP GUI work in standalone mode?

Hi Thomas,

Although SAP Note 2041195 - Eclipse does not identify operating system correctly don't have exact symptom, the solution may just work.

Please give that a try and let me know how that goes.

SAP GUI works standalone.

I am new to Eclipse, so it never worked before. I tried different Eclipse Versions (2019-09 and 2019-06) and different Java Versions too, allways the same result.
