Operating Systems:
Windows XP Professional 5.1.
Service Pack 1
Affected Components:
SAPgui, saplogon.exe
Problem Description:
Sap Gui / Saplogon attaches
saplogon.ini from the default Location C:\Windows. In some cases it is
possible that the location cannot be accessed due to the lack of rights
or it might be necessary to use or test different saplogon.ini.
Solution:
The MS-Windows Environment Variable SAPLOGON_INI_FILE
controls the location and naming of saplogon.ini.
To override the default Location C:\windows or the default
name for saplogon.ini, set the MW-Windows
environment variable SAPLOGON_INI_FILE to the desired
new location and new name of the saplogon.ini.
Check Your current location and name of saplogon.ini
/SAPGui / Options / Konfigurationfiles / Filename - Path: saplogon.ini = <Your current filename and path>
