How to install ABAP trial with VMware on Windows XP

[Former Member]

I installed ABAP on my computer, but since the computer name is too long and I cannot shorten it, I am looking to install VMware and then install ABAP trial. I have uninstalled all previous SAP components.

Regarding VMware I found this link http://www.vmware.com/download/ but cannot figure out what to download from here. Do I install both server and player? Also after I install VMware how do I install ABAP in this VMware?

Hello,

you need the VMWare Workstation, which you will find at http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/ .

Monica;

The site you have for the VMware is correct. I currently have v1.0.5 of the VMware installed on my taplet and windows 2003 server as its OS where I installed the NW7 Trial version ABAP.

Step 1 - install the VMware (Make sure you allocate enough space. I did mine for 40GB)

Step2 - install OS on the VMware

Step3 - install Netweaver 7 ABAP trial

Good luck.

why can't you shorten your computer name?
