What causes this issue?

The system could not read the Windows Registry entry which specifies

This may be because the Protagona user interface is not installed on
this machine.

How to fix this error?

Install the Protagona user interface. To do so, you require the Setup
CD supplied by Recognition Systems (the makers of Protagona). This CD
is not part of the CRM software supplied by SAP and must therefore be
obtained from Recognition Systems directly.
