Hi

as you can see here the support for Windows 8 is planned for SAP GUI 7.30. In PL 1 for GUI 7.30 the support is implemented for Windows 8 Ultimate, Professional and Enterprise only. Please see note 66971 for further information.

Kind regards

Hello Jann,

Although SAP announced that with SAP GUI 7.30 patch level 1 support for Windows 8 it wasn't until SapSetup.exe 9.0.39.0 when the SAP GUI client fully supported Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (SAP Note 1587566).

Cheers,

I do have a problem with Windows 8.1 and SAPGUI 7300.2.4.1083 - I can not scroll in the ABAP Editor with gestures.

Because the gesture-triggered scrolling works fine i. e. in Explorer, I can not believe that the problem is my local configuration (Mac OS X Lion with Parallels 9).

How can I solve this problem?

Kind Regards

Hi Ralf,

Compatibility with Win8.1 wasn't complete in 7.30 until patch 6 hotfix 1, and you are only on patch 4.  I would strongly suggest updating to the latest patch (pl9 at this moment) and trying again.

Manu,

SAPGUI 7.20 is no longer supported, so you should upgrade to 7.30 regardless.  Furthermore, 7.20 was not supported on Windows 8 or 8.1.  7.30 is the first version supported on Windows 8.  Windows 8 is supported from 7.30 patch 1, and Windows 8.1 is supported from 7.30 patch 6 (current patch level is 8 hotfix 1).  Windows 8 64-bit Professional is definitely supported on 7.30.

Details are available in Note 66971:  Supported SAP GUI Platforms.

If, after upgrading to 7.30, you still have problems, I suggest you open a new discussion thread rather than continuing on this one that was closed two years ago.  You will get more help that way.

Matt

Do you may use Windows 8.1? Win 8.1 is supported from SAP GUI 7.30 PL 6 onwards.

Why not update to the latest patch level?  PL 3 is now quite old.

What file version is NwSapsetup.exe?  It should be at least 9.0.39.0 or higher. See SAP Note 1587566 - Installation problems with SapSetup Version 9.0.

Hi,

I tried to run SAP GUI 7.3 on Windows 8 but without success. The Windows compatible mode option does not help. The best is to re-install  version 7.2 for SAP.

As said, official support comes with 7.30. As a practical note I have 7.20 running happily on a Windows 8 machine and have found no problems yet. Not that I'd recommend using an unsupported version, but...
