Hi All,

I'm using the following installation master to install on windows 2008 sp1 (eng std edition)

Installation Master - SR1

SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0

EHP 4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/ NW 7.01

SAP CRM 7.0/ NW 7.01

SAP SRM 7.0/ NW 7.01

SAP SCM 7.0

Number 51038620

However, after running sapinst, a windows show stopped working. and the detail is about appcrash, msvcr80.dll sth like this

Although there are similar case in here: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=65207835&messageID=9506691

I have tried

1. installing VC++ 2005,2008

2. turn off UAC

3. update SP1 to SP2

4. using latest sapinst for windows x64

All are no luck! i'm getting crazy soon!

Can anyone advice me how to do?

Thanks
