Reinstall NW Workplace

[Former Member]

Hello everyone:

After my laptop got swapped with new shell (same hard disk/memory), my local j2ee and visual admin not working anymore. so I have to reinstall NW Workplace but I can't uninstall it - got errors. my questions are:

1. Can I install NW Workplace without uninstalling the old one?

2. Can I just simply delete the folder usr ? and anywhere else I need to delete?

3. Should I install the new version of Workplace 7.01 (EhP1)? do I still need to upgrade j2ee Stack 5 for Workplace 7.01?

Any advises?

Thanks, Jin

Hi Jin

>Can I install NW Workplace without uninstalling the old one?

Yes, the IDE installer will rewrite content of c:\program files\SAP\IDE.

>Can I just simply delete the folder usr ? and anywhere else I need to delete?

Yes. Additionally there are some keys/values in the System Registry, but new installer will rewrite them.

>Should I install the new version of Workplace 7.01 (EhP1)?

It's up to you to decide

>do I still need to upgrade j2ee Stack 5 for Workplace 7.01?

No. All the NW 7.0X releases are based on Java 1.4.

It's always recommended to uninstall when doing a major change, but you can also install in a different path (or a different SID).

Delete the NWDS installation folder (usually "C:\Program Files\SAP\IDE")
