Procedure

To install SAPforms, run the SAPSETUP.EXE program from the SAP Presentation CD. Choose the SAPforms component.

Caution

SAPforms will only run on a Windows 32-bit platform!

The setup program will then lead you through the installation process, which consists of the following components.

  1. The ActiveX components are installed and registered in the subdirectory Sapforms\Bin.
  2. Some shared components are installed in the Windows system directory.
  3. The examples referred to in this documentation are installed in the SAPforms\Samples directory.
  4. Files are installed in further subdirectories of the SAPforms directory that contain the source code of some of the SAPforms components.

Once you have installed SAPforms, you should start with the introductory example Getting Started.
