It contains application data for various business scenarios that can be run in the SAP System and can be used to reflect real-life business requirements and has access to many realistic characteristics. It uses an easy-to-follow business scenario to show you the comprehensive functions of the R/3 System. Along with the functionality, it focuses on business processes and their integration as well.

I recommended you create a System Restore Point. This is because while doing these types of modifications, there are chances that something breaks on the software side of your computer. Or, if you do not have any habit to make a system restore point, I would encourage you to create one frequently.

Step 1: Installation of SAP GUI

First of all, start by downloading SAP IDE from HEC Montreal here from blogue.hec.ca.

Extract the archive you just downloaded and open the extracted folder. Double click on SetupAll.exe to run that file.

If you get a UAC or User Account Control Prompt, click on Yes.

The Installer will now open. Click on Next.

On the next screen, you will get a list of components that you need to install. Make sure that you select only these three,

• SAP Business Client 6.5.
• Chromium for SAP Business Client 6.5.
• SAP GUI for Windows 7.50 (Compilation 2).

Finally, click on Next.

On the next screen, you will be asked to select a default path for installation. However, the default path will be,

C:\Program Files(x86)\SAP\NWBC65

Click on Next. It will now start to install the software on your computer.

After the installation is complete, click on Close.
