I decided to write a little program that catches the SAPCAR output and analyses it.

You can use it as a SAPCAR GUI. I am not a programmer, and I wrote this in very

old environment, just to make sure it will work on most WIN OS-es.

 

 



 

 

Disclaimer: This is NOT official SAP software and it is NOT bug free.

This is freeware. Use it on your own risk.

 

Prerequisites:

- NO installation needed

- You have to download your own SAPCAR.exe and put it in the same folder as scgui.exe

 

Functions:

- Displays the archive contents

- Extracts chosen or all files in the archive file folder

- Extracts chosen or all files into specific folder or asks every time (from version 1.1)

- Can register .CAR and .SAR extension to open with double click

- Can open a single CAR/SAR file

- It is easy to upgrade - just put the new SAPCAR.exe in the folder

 

 

Known problems:

- if you move the scgui.exe file in other folder you have to register the SAR/CAR extensions again

- if SAR/CAR extensions are registered to other windows program, it is possble that

the "Register.." button will not work. You have to unregister them first (right click / Properties)

- You need administrator rights for "Register.." button (or "Run As administrator" in Windows 7).

- does not display hierarchical structure, just a list of all files and folders

 

Test:

- tested on WinXP 32bit

- tested on Win7 64bit (with both 32 and 64 bit SAPCAR.exe)

- tested on Win10 64bit

- should work on every Win OS as long as your SAPCAR.exe 32/64 works

 

DOWNLOAD:

Download SCGUI 1.1

 

Old versions:

Download SCGUI 1.0

 

 

Feel free to leave comments here. There will be future versions posted here.

Sorry - no new version yet :smile:

I spoke with SAP Copyright support few months ago. It seems I do not break the rules.

I am allowed to make this program!

Great!
