[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to install the abap sneak preview 2004s on a xp system.

When I start the script SAPinst.bat the server starts and after a while I get a popup with the error message:

iaextract.c:814

The GUI window is not even display a single time.

Please find the last lines of dev_selfex.out below:

iaextract.c:592: Extraction finished with 0

Hi Srikishan,

I am afraid, that didn't solve the problem either.

I have java 1.4.2_10 installed and added JAVA_HOME to the environment variables and added also %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the PATH.

Hi buddy,

1.4.2_10 is a no no... stick with 1.4.2_08 google and find out the download loc for the file and remember to close all the sec packages. Hope this should help you to get atleast to check param stage... if everything goes well. DB installation will be another road block in the installatiion that i'm getting bumped by now.

Good luck

Hi,

thanks for the answer. I uninstalled 1.4.2_10 and installed 1.4.2_09 as I read, that others were successfull using that version. I even tried 1.4.2_08.

It still doesn't work for me.

Hi Srikishan,

thanks for the quick answer. The sneak preview uses sapinst version 701. The oss note 722890 only mentions sapinst up to version 641.

Hi Peter,

Note 851251 gives some info about SAPInst 701. It does

show the same problem that you got(but after

installation), and tells to ignore it. This error usually

occurs on UNIX systems because either "DISPLAY" variable

is not defined or the root user has memory allocation

problems.

Hi,

Welcome to SDN!

Please check your environment variables, as they may cause some problem. SAP Note 722890 may help you.
