AddOn Installer for 2005

Hi Trinidad!
Is the "SAP Business One Development Environment Setup for SAP Business One SDK 2004 version" valid to generate addon installers for 2005 version?
Thanks,
vanesa

Hi Vanesa,
It is not valid for generating installers for 2005. There is a separate installer for version 2005. Version 2005 uses more functions in the installer than 2004, like EndUninstall, etc.
My suggestion would be to use the installer for B1DE 2005.
Hope it helps,
Adele

AddOn installer for C# in SAP 2004

Hi,
I have a question. Is there an AddOn Installer for C# in SAP 2004? Or do I have to write it by myself?
Regards,
Hmg

Hi Szymon,
You can use B1DE package you can donwload for free from SDN. It will create an installer in Vb.NET but it is very easy to adapt the code to C#.

B1DE (AddOn Installer) for 64 bit server

Hi All,
I have a problem. One of my client has a 64 bit server. AddOn installation created with B1DE for SAP 2007 doesn't work on that server. After running SAP AddOn is trying to install, and then there is an error. Is there any way to create AddOn installation files that work on 64 bit server?
Regards
Hmg

Both Robin and Owen are right... You need to run your code as forced 32 bit.
The reason is the following:
- A default project in Visual Studio is compiled as "Any CPU"
   - Any CPU means that you code will be executed as 32bit on a 32bit machine, and 64bit on a 64bit machine.
   - The Any CPU option is great for pure .NET (since all parts of it can run 32bit and 64bit)
   - In case of the SAP SDK and the AddonInstaller.dll, these are COM-based unmanaged code
      - If such unmanage code is not written to work with 64 bit, problems like yours can occur (this happens not only for SAP SDK... Tons of API out there have the same problems)
- If you change the Any CPU option to the x86 option, you will force 64 bit mashines to run your code in "simulated" 32bit (Don't worry.. it is quite fast and gives no problems)
We are you this with our 64 bit customers and without any problems...
Lastly, if you wish to know more about this please hear the following podcast that describes the issue in detail (A good listen): http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=341

Airport card installation for 2005 Power Mac G5

OK guys, I'm trying to get an airport card to work on my 2005 Power Mac G5. Here's the relevant info:
Power Mac G5 running on Mac OS X 10.4.11
Machine model: PowerMac7,3 (so this would be "early 2005" I guess?)
Airport card: M8881LL/A AirPort Extreme Card
I installed the card as described from the Apple Support site. It seemed to go in fine and I did hook up the antenna wire to the card and an actual antenna is attached to the back of the computer.
When I fired it back up, the computer still can't find the AirPort card. If I open AirPort Setup Assistant (from utilities) it says Airport hardware was not found.
Any chance there is some kind of driver or other missing software I need? Any suggestions?

Error : "Wrong Digital Signature for Addon Installer"

I'm having some problems at the time of installing any kind of addon in sap B1
Everytime I'm having an error -
"Wrong Digital Signature for Addon Installer"
even when I'm adding SCREEN PAINTER

Hi
This error could be cause by a versioning or corrupted installation:
1. For the version please check if you have another add-on installed with the same version like 2.1.2 (try to change it add-on file and try again)
You can also try to change the add-on installation order (in case of you have another add-ons installed).
2. If checking the version does not help please check those notes on How to clean client after corrupt installation of addon and also Re-registering the UI.

But When I make an .ard file using B1DE 2.2.6 . it gives me error '"BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)". I use the following steps for make an addon.

2. Change Compile -Advance Compile option -Any CPU.

Addon Installer Prob

Hi,
I am using Simple Installer for installing the Addons in sapb1.
What is the use of the Professional Installer?
how to install multiple addons in Sapb1? which is easy way.
plz help me asap
Regards

Hi,
   Professional Installer is generate standard windows installer that we build using .NET. You can use Merge Module and other standard features that you will get in .NET installer.
One main disadvantage is, it fails in WTS and Citrix.
   Where as the Simple installer is really very simple installer as it named. If you can able to pack your add-on using this simple installer, you can go with this since it light weight and works in WTS and Citrix.
    When you want to install more Add-on, install one by one. I dont thinks there as any short cut exist.

Creating addon installers for SBO 9.0 64-Bit (AddOnInstallAPI_x64)

Hi guys,
I experience some challenge getting my addon to install successfully on a 64-bit SBO 9.0
I noticed there are a couple of discussions touching on this very subject.
So I have successfully installed my addon on the 32-bit edition of SBO 9.0
My addon is built using VS2010 C# and the addon installer(setup) is built using InstallAware.
I use the very same setup script for my 64-bit compatible addon (btw, i can manually launch and run this addon successfully in 64-Bit SBO 9.0)
When I run the addon setup, it runs through to the end but i get an SBO system message 'Add-on XXX : Installation failed'
During the setup debug, I saw the commandline coming from SBO points to the 32-bit AddOnInstallAPI.dll instead of the 64-bit AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll
Could this be the cause of the 'installation failed' message?
If so, how can I get the commandline pointing to the 64-bit AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Esau

Hello,
In the end, i used the 32-bit dll in a 64-bit installer and it worked ok.
Another point to remember is to call the EndInstallEx function (in my case, i was calling EndInstall)
Your installer should work ok after this.
Kind regards,
Esau

UI addon installation

Hello,
I would like to install sap fiori on our ECC6 EHP6 system, but I'm stuck with installation of UI addon.
Tx SAINT requires stack.xml for addon installation, but I cannot get it.
I tried to follow this note 1666368 - Installing UI add-on 1.0 for SAP NetWeaver
,but there is no more MOPZ transaction in solman 7.1, this is what is written in note:
In the "Select Add-Ons" section of transaction MOPZ, select the product version "UI add-on 1.0 for SAP NetWeaver".
I don't know where I can find Select Add-Ons section, all I can do is maintenance (SPS installation) or EHP7 installation...
Could you help me out?

Hello,
my system is on NW 7.31:
I found this KB article: 1834030 - Targeted instance ... is incompatible with NW 7.3!
...which should solve my issue, but it did not help.
My CR/CIM versions are latest (updated last friday):
Landscape verification was done few minutes ago with no error:
So I withdraw-ed old maintenance transaction, created new one, but it ended with exactly same list of error messages...
Have no clue how to proceed...

Restrict Customised Addon Installation (Usage)

Hi All,
I have done the development for our one of the clients requirements. We are going to install the same in the client location. Actually we want to restrict the addon installation to only one server i.e., subsequently that addon shouldnt be used by some other company, it could be even their sister concern.
Is there any way to restrict the addon installation? Is there any way to do through coding without getting SAP Licencing?
Please clarify.
Regards,
SAPB1Use.

Hi János,
I feel your solution will work well. And one more clarification. I thought of giving the same Addon to other companys who are in Same Industry. But I want to restrict their use for 15 days only. I can capture the Addon Installation Date & I can compare the same with the Current date. By this logic, I could control.
But actually, I want to restrict 2nd installation of Addon in the same server. How I can go ahead with that. I have one logic in mind, please tell me that will work or not.
I will capture the System name in any of the system table while installing the Addon for the first time. In the 2nd installation, I will cross check the System Name. If it exists, I want to restrict the installation.
My query is that, where can I restrict whether in installation of Addon or while opening the Customised screen.
Please clarify.
Regards,
SAPB1Use
