[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it possible to install SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio on a 64 bit server?

i installed it on 2 64 BIT windows servers but when i try to start the application it won't start and in the log isee the following messages -

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\IDE\IDE70\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32_2.1.2\os\win32\x86\swt-win32-2135.dll: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

has anyone came accross such an error?

Hello,

It is possible to run NW Developer Studio on a Windows 7 64 Bit.

You have to install the Microsoft Virtual PC with Win XP mode.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

Step 1: Download and Install Windows XP Mode

Step 2: Download and Install Windows Virtual PC

Step 3: Download and Installa Update Windows XP Mode

It creates a virtual PC running Windows XP.

On the XP mode virtual PC, you install the JDK and the Developer Studio as usual.

In order to run de application directly from Win 7 64bit, you need to make sure on the XP mode virtual PC that the StartMenu --> Programs --> NW DevStudio folder is under "All Users".

Check the video "How to Install an Application on Windows XP Mode" on http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/default.aspx

It works great!!

Hi Julian,

I assume we are talking about NWDS 70X, because higher NWDS releases are fully supported on win7.

Please note that there is a difference between something is working and whether we can provide support for it.

See the official statement on this in the note:

#1566977 - NWDS on Windows 7

which says:

7.00:
There are successfull installations of NWDS 7.0x running inside and outside of SAP.
Please make sure that the NWDS is running on a supported and correctly configured JDK.
Please acknowledge that while you may successfully install and run NWDS 7.0x on Windows 7 this still is not a supported OS! Running NWDS 7.0x on Windows 7 is at your own risk.

Best Regards,

Ervin

Hi,

For future search, the answer is:

depending on the release you want to use.

Regarding 700 NWDS:

Hello Erwin,

about 71X: PAM only says "Developer Workplace", but what if we just need the "Developer Studio", and use and existing NW 7.1 development server as J2EE attached to the Studio?

Are your running a 32- or 64-bit version of the JDK?

[Former Member]

64 BIT version of the JDK

[Former Member]

Try using the 32-bit version, since NWDS is a 32-bit Java application.

[Former Member]

Since i'm running windows server 64 bit i installed jdk 64 bit version and the db version is 64 bit.

is it possible to install additional j2sdk version with 32 bit on the server?

[Former Member]

Yes it is possbile.

You can change the system environment variable "Java_HOME" to the new path / JRE.

Or start NWDS with additional parameters: i.e.

sapide.exe "-vm C:\j2sdk1.4.2_17\jre\bin\javaw.exeu201D
