System Requirements

To install GuiXT Designer, it is first necessary to ensure that the target system can support the installation. The host system can be any of the following Microsoft operating systems:

• Windows 2003 Server
• Windows Server 2008

For all systems, the install will require the following:

• RAM: 32MB
• HDD: 10MB of storage space

Windows 2003 Server

• CPU: 486 or above
• RAM: 16 MB or above (24MB recommended)
• HDD: 20 MB or above
• Browser: Internet Explorer 7 or above; Firefox 3.0 or above
• SAPGUI: 3.0 or above

Windows Server 2008

The above requirements are for a typical implementation.
