Hi Lion,

The installation of a Central Instance is no longer supported on 32-bit OS's starting with NW 7.0 SR3; you can only install Dialog Instances on them. See for example SAP Note [1052298|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1052298], [1108852|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1108852] and so on.

This topic has been discussed before in the forums, by the way.

Hi,

If I remember correctly, the central instance is now mandatory on 64-bit, the DI are still possible on 32-bit.

My opinion is that it's nowadays a bad idea to install on 32 bit.

4 GB is now not enough for Netweaver...

Dear Lion,

Term SR3 refers to the Support pack level. OS requirement does not change with SR level.

As per PAM (http://service.sap.com/pam) NW can be installed on 32bit.
