Unable to init; unknown execption was thrown .... SAPInst will terminate now...

Very strange error, and nothing on the web explain that problem

I had read a lot of sapnote but nothing to help me

Thank a lot for your answer

Best regards

Benoit.

Hi,

Here the solution:

Be careful, is very important to have a good policy zip file from Sun's web site

If the zip do not contain exactly

1 folder jce

All other files in the folder jce

That will not work !

For example, if you zip contain all file directly in the zip, without the jce folder, you sapinst will not start.

In fact, my jce zip folder was not like jce the zip folder on Sun's web site..

Best regards,

Benoît.
