Procedure to apply a patch for existing SUP Mobile SDK/Runtime

[Jitendra_Kansal]

Dear All,

 

I know you would have done this many times. But yesterday i tried to update sup mobile SDK 2.2.0 to 2.2 SP 04 and found an issue.

This issue was not known to me so thought of sharing it. I am sure it would be helpful for others.

 

Tools : SUP mobile SDK 2.2.0

 

 

Where to get the patch?

 

You can download SUP mobile sdk 2.2 SP 04 patch  from here:

 

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/f00164c9-bcb7-2f10-d2b3-ac79a6...

 

 

I am assuming you have installed mobile sdk 2.2.0 on your machine with having admin privileges.

 

Once you download that patch from mentioned link, you would find a folder named ebf21335 in a zip folder with name SMP_Mobile_SDK_2.2.4-patch.

 

Procedure:

 

 

1. Go to Command prompt


2. Browse to the ebf folder path D:\Jitendra Kansal\softwares\sup 2.2 SP04\ebf21335


3. run installebf.bat file

 

• 
  
  
  
  • It would ask you for taking backup of existing files.
  
  
  
  

 

• 
  
  
  
  • Press 'Y'
  
  
  
  

 

• 
  
  
  
  • After pressing 'Y', i encountered one error saying:
  
  
  
  

 

The Install Script is unable to write to the registry. Please make sure that the registry and files have write permission.

 

 




 

After noticing and taking help from experts, i got to know there is something to do with admin rights.

 

• So i found two solutions for this:

 

1. Either you run command prompt as Run as Administrator and follow the given procedure:

 

 



 

OR

 

2. Set cmd.exe as admin always.

 

• click start>type command> right click command prompt>properties

 

• On the Shortcut tab, click Advanced.


• select the Run as administrator checkbox.

 

•      click OK twice.

 

NOTE: Now, when you launch a command prompt from start menu, UAC will prompt you for administrative privileges.

 

 

final result should look like this:
