SAP GUI 6.20 Custom Install

[NorthWood]

Dear all,

do you know how to create a personalized package (msi or exe or whatever) of the SAP Grahic User Interface 6.20 so that it doesn't need a great amount of space on a CD/DVD ?

All that I know, since now, is that inside the SAP CD you have an utility which allows you to create a personalized package (a sort of xml dictionary that still needs the CD installation) but not to export a final msi or exe (which will be useful to save space).

Any hints?

interested in it too. i've used sap some months ago

Well, I would like to find a "clean" way to do it without using any kind of tool that uses registry snapshot (WinInstall or Symantec AI Snapshot) ...

[NorthWood]

Up...do you think it's better to use WinInstall ??

SAP provides some advanced tools for remote and automated installs. I would highly suggest you read the manual that comes with the presentation disk.

Have you run the sapadmin program?

I am downloading the latest GUI right now and hopefully I'll have package and directions by tomorrow.

Also I will be using the 640 GUI.

Doe anyone had any luck with creating an MSI for SAP Gui 6.40? I Tried to create it several times but no luck so far get's stuck in registering several SAP OCX files.
