As I answered in

you should read the mentioned note and use the link in sapinst to download them.

Please read the installation guide, the procedure is also described there.

Hi vinay

MOS-01185 The subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS' does not exist on the 'localhost' host.

ERROR 2014-10-02 09:52:29

are you on 32 or 64bit?

I am using windows server 2008 64 bit.

OK.

DPS is "diagnose policy service" - it may not have been installed if you installed without a network card. You may add that through "software" in the control panel.

What error is because of the hostname? I asked you in my last question that if the error message you got

ERROR 2014-10-02 09:52:29
MOS-01185 The subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS' does not exist on the 'localhost' host.

is still the same.

If yes, then I asked you to check in the registry if that key exists.
