SAP BW connector version 2.0 not working

Dear,

 

I have a Windows 10 x64 computer available. I've installed the latest x64 PowerBI Desktop version. I have also installed

SAP Connector for Microsoft .NET 3.0.21.0 for Windows 64bit (x64), September 25, 2018 (ZIP archive, 7,201 KB)
onto my computer.

 

However, I keep getting the same error message whenever I click "Get Data" --> "SAP Business Warehouse Application Server" or "SAP Business Warehouse Message Server":

 

"Assembly 'sapnco, Version=3.0.0.42, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=50436dca5c7f7d23' was not found in the GAC. Verify that 'Install assemblies in GAC' was selected while installting the SAP .NET Connector."

 

The installation was done with the 'Install assemblies in GAC' option selected.

 

Can somebody please help with this?

 

Thank you,

@Anonymous,

 

Please make sure the bit version of SAP connector is same with power bi and sap. Also check if the .net dll is completely installed. Reference: https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors/msnet.html.

Thanks for your response.

 

The sap .NET connector is correctly installed. When I run the setup again, I can pick "Repair SAP.NET connector 3.0 for .NET 4.0 on x64" or "Remove ...".

 

Any other suggestions? 

 

and what about installation of SAP .Net Connector 3.0 in step 3? Optional setup steps .. Installing assemblies to GAC? Default is "None" instead of "Install assemblies to GAC"

..or maybe problem with GAC registration. It was my problem to. Try "gacutil.exe" https://docs.microsoft.com/cs-cz/dotnet/framework/tools/gacutil-exe-gac-tool and  command: 

 

gacutil -l | find "sap" /i   

 

..to find SAP dll in GAC. Propably you must manualy registrate/install     sapnco*.dll    via "gacutil -i" ... http://help.bizagi.com/bpm-suite/en/index.html?sap_connector.htm
