Hi Panda,

you will need a tool SAPCAR to uncar the file.

the location for which is as follows:

https://service.sap.com/swdc in that

download->entry by support package and patches-> additional components-> SAPCAR-> SAPCAR 6.40

after downloading the file into the same folder in which your .CAR file is present rename SAPCAR to SAPCAR.exe

then command prompt at the location where the files are stored and uncar the file by giving the command

sapcar -xvf file_name.car

let me know if it works once you are done with that.

p.s- if you find the solution useful please reward points.

Regards,

Nitin

Hi Panda,

Ok so since its not an issue with the JAVA_HOME it has to be some problem with the encryption policy:

just follow the customer message msg number -0000567092 year - 2005

and download the files as instructed in it.

if u dont have access to it the path for the 2 files are:

1.http://service.sap.com/download >> SAP Cryptographic Software>> SAP Java Crypto Tool Kit ( Release 6.40)

2. Policy files: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

that should do it i feel.

please keep us posted.

Hi Nitin/Arun.

i downloaded "JDK 1.4.2_09".

JAVA_HOME environment Variable is now set to

"C:\j2sdk1.4.2_09"

But that didn't help. i am still getting the same error.

Then downloaded

SAP Cryptographic Software>> SAP Java Crypto Tool Kit ( Release 6.40)

The downloaded file is a compressed ".CAR" file.

I could not able to open the file, as I don't have a suitable software to open a ".CAR" file and extract the files.

Can you please suggest a suitable software for opening a

".CAR" file.

Thanking you again,

Panda

Hi Panda,

Just try the following steps and the sapinst should run:

1. check the JAVA_HOME environment variable and if its path is set correctly.

2. Kill any sapinst.exe in processes and restart sapinst

this should solve your problem please try it and let me know.

hi Swaymbikash,

J2SDK1.4.2_10 could be the problem. Uninstall this version and try to put 1.4.2_09 or 08. even if you pass this stage, 1.4.2_10 will definitely give you problems in future. check the other posts which talk about this version giving problems.

Arun
