The SAPGUI is NOT supported for most tablets. The GUI is for full Windows operating systems. Only tablets that run full window operating systems functionality will support GUI installation.

Preparation: It is no longer required to uninstall previous versions of the SAPGUI.

Only one SAP GUI can be installed on a machine. If you currently have a work GUI on your computer, you will need to manually add the UWM system entry to your currently installed GUI. Manual system entry directions are available from your faculty.

Procedure: The SAPGUI installer is provided from your instructor/school. Once you have the installer program on your computer, execute it by right clicking the icon pictured below and choose the option ‘Run as Administrator’:

This will bring up SAP’s extraction notification, which depending on your machine can run for a few minutes.

Once the extraction is complete, you will see the following screen for a little bit
