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

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-ac79a6faf833

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:
