2580439 - Connection entries not migrated from saplogon.ini to sapuilandscape.xml when upgrading from older GUI version to GUI 7.4 or 7.5

You are upgrading SAP GUI for Windows from older version to the new GUI version 7.40 / 7.50 / 7.60 / 7.70 with landscape format enabled (This format is enabled by default starting GUI 7.50)

• The connection entries are not migrated from the old saplogon.ini file to the new sapuilandscape.xml file
• There is no saplogontree.xml file present at the location %APPDATA%\SAP\Common. If you see both the above symptoms together, read further.

Please note:

%APPDATA% stands for the environment variable specifying
the Application Data directory located directly below the
user profile directory.

A typical Application Data directory in Windows Vista / 7 / 10 is:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming

and in Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data

I will be referring C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming throughout the document.
