Solution

Direct installation on the workstation

installed an older version of "Adobe Designer 6.0" using "SAP GUI" or
"SAP NetWeaver Development Studio", you first need to delete the older
"Forms Design Tool" version in the corresponding installation.

server. After this procedure, you can see the new "Interactive Forms"
component in the component selection dialog box of the SAP GUI
installation when you attach a new installation package with SAPAdmin.
The installation on the workstation is then started as usual using
"setup.exe" or "netsetup.exe".

Caution:
Some files on your existing installation server may still be
write-protected (read-only).

Make sure that all files in the two directories

"...\Adobe\"
"...\Common Files\"
are not write-protected.
To do this, open a DOS box (input request) and switch to the directory of
the installation server and set

attrib -r /s "Common Files\*.*"

attrib -r /s "Adobe\*.*"

before you start "..\setup\ALDtoGUIServer.exe".

Otherwise, you may receive the following error message:
"... .cab cannot be extracted. It may be corrupt."
