SAPINST_JRE_HOME error.

[Former Member]

It looks that I have trouble in identifying how to point SAPINST_JRE_HOME points to the root directory of your Java installation.

Any idea how would I get my JDK registred to the right JREHOME

Error message.

APinst is getting started.

Please be patient ...

starting gui server process:

sapinstport: 21200

guiport : 21212

command : "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\lib;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_10\lib;%CLASSPATH%\bin\javaw.exe" -cp "C:/DOCUME_{1/P74000/LOCALS}1/Temp/sapinst_exe.4944.1150915131\jar\instgui.jar;C:/DOCUME_{1/P74000/LOCALS}1/Temp/sapinst_exe.4944.1150915131\jar\inqmyxml.jar" -Xmx256M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true SDTServer config=jar:sdtserver.xml guiport=21212 sapinsthost=localhost sapinstport=21200

The process that should run the GUI Server could not be started. Please make sure that a JDK is installed on this host and that SAPINST_JRE_HOME points to the root

directory of your Java installation. As an alternative you may start the GUI Server on another host

(for details please consult the installation guide).

Hi All,

I am installing SAP sneak preview. When i starts sapinst, it is unable to login localhost:21212.

My computer name is sikander-xxxxxx. When i set localhost to sikander-xxxxxx, it compalains that my machine name is more than 13 characters long.

Than i renamed my computer name to sikander. Restarted the PC, again ran the sapinst, this time it again does not run.

I have also installed Loop back adapter, set IP to 10.10.0.10, i also modified system32/drivers/etc/host file (to 10.10.0.10 mycomputername )

Waiting for reply,

Thanks in advance.

Right click on "My Computer" from your desktop. Choose properties. Click the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button at the bottom. In the lower box, find the variable SAPINST_JRE_HOME, make sure that you have this pointed to your j2e. In my case, the value is C:\j2sdk1.4.2_09\jre
