Error in installing ABAP 7.2 trial version

[former_member201227]

Hi friends,

I tried installing ABAP 7.2 trial version in my laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic edition. The installation gives an error in the "Execute" step in Phase 18 "Perform MaxDB Post load activities". The following is the error.

An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 > SAP Application Server ABAP > MaxDB > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step :Assertion failed: in function (user, password, group) { Trace("ChildApplication", this, ".runAs(", user, ", ", group, ")"); if (typeof user == "string") { var amgt = new AccountMgt(); var userName = user; user = amgt.getUser(user); } ASSERT_DEFINED(arguments.callee, user, "user(" + userName + ")"); var env = user.getProcessEnvironment(password, group); env.setUmask("022"); this.setEnvironment(env); var retval = this.run(); Trace("ChildApplication", this, ".runAs() done"); return retval; } Variable user(MadhuSharmila\nspadm) should be defined).

Could anyone please help me in resolving this?

Best Regards,

Sharmila

Hello Sharmila,

the error is related to user creation:

Variable user(MadhuSharmila\nspadm) should be defined

Home Editions of Windows has some limitation in user management - for example, the snap-in of local users and group is not directly available in MMC. Probably the installation fails for this reason. You can create user nspadm manually if missing and retry the installation
