Thanks as nobody had posted the step-by-step yet, and nice having the screenshots.

NB: for Web text search the message is:

Could not start Layout Designer (See long text)

Message no. FPUIFB086

Diagnosis

The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation.

Procedure

Make sure that you have the forms design tool installed on your desktop (the tool is part of the SAPGUI installation).

Refer also to SAP Note 1121176.

Note 1121176 (ALD 8.0) is now obsolete but you can find the other notes at SAP Support:

Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation -"obsolete "


e.g. 2187332 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11.0 - Installation / Patch - SAP for Me
