Running the Installer

Start the SAP Mobile Platform SDK installer, accept the end user license agreement, specify the installation directory and components to install, and launch the installation process.

  1. Browse to the root directory of the SAP Mobile Platform installer, right-click the setupAMD64.exe file and select Run as Administrator.
    Note: The installer displays an Initializing wizard... message while it verifies the integrity of the installation image. It may take a few minutes for the first installer panel to appear.
  2. On the installer welcome page, click Next.
  3. On the end-user license agreement page, select your country, accept the terms of the license agreement and click Next.
  4. Specify the absolute path to the installation location, which must reside on a local drive on the target host.

    The total length of the path must be 29 characters or less.

    The path can include only ASCII alphanumeric characters, underscore ( _ ), hyphen ( - ), and period (.). Two consecutive period characters are not allowed.

  5. If an existing installation of SAP Mobile Platform is detected, click Next to install SAP Mobile Platform SDK under that directory.
  6. Select the installation type, based on the SDK components you want to install:
    • Standard – installs all the components available.
    • Custom – lets you select the specific components to install.
  7. If you selected Custom on the installation type panel, select the specific components to install.

    Ensure that you select the components required for the type of development you plan to do:
