7. Reboot computer and login Windows as Local administrator user.
8. Navigate to SAP Shared Folder "\\[SAP server name]\B1_SHR", choose Client OR Client.x64 folder. Right click and run "\\[SAP server name]\B1_SHR\Client.x64\setup.exe" as Administrator and install SAP client by following the wizard.

Note: To determine to use 32-bit or 64-bit client, please follow the steps below:

• Check the Windows Operation System, if it is 32-bit, you could only install 32-bit SAP client; if it is 64-bit, please use next step to determine which version to install
• Check an existing installation on another workstation. You would usually the version on the name of the desktop shortcut.  Alternatively, login to SAP Business One and navigate to Modules > Administration > Add-on > add-on manager. If there are any add-ons shown as x86, that means 32-bit. If add-ons are shown as x64, that means 64-bit. Please install the same version of client as the add-on.
  
• If no add-on is used, you could use 32-bit or 64-bit but we would suggest to use 64-bit as it handles memory better.
