SAPINST GUI does not start

[hanse_atik2]

Hi,

I the machine I am working on include Solman 7.0 and its running.

I am planning to install SAP ECC 5.0 on the same machine.

I Installed MSSQL Server 2005 successfuly. Now I started to install ECC 5.0 and by starting SAPINST.exe I get an error Message which says:

SAPINST GUI could not start because the Java Enviroment (JRE) 1.4.2 with latest patch level not be found.

And its asking me to do

1) check if JRE is installed 2) Set enviroment variable: SAPINST_JRE_HOME to the the JRE installation directory.

I checked the Installation of JRE and its on: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64

The Parameter is setted to: SAPINST_JRE_HOME = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64\bin

But I still get the same error message.

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance

Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME and append the binary directory (C:\j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64\bin

) to the path.

Hope that helps.

Hi Joe,

I create the parameters JAVA_HOME = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64\bin as a system parameter and user parameter but I still have the same problem.

Should I restart the system? I do not think so.

Best regards

Not sure about it, but if I remember correctly, you have to try without the bin:

SAPINST_JRE_HOME = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64

And the same for JAVA_HOME

The installations guides are a bit vague in this regard.

JAVA_HOME has to be the root directory of the JDK, not bin, so set

JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_28-x64
PATH=<....other paths...>;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

Hi,

What OS are you running? Is the firewall disabled?

Hi,

I am using Windows Server 2003 Version 5.2, x64 Edition.

The server is in the same intranet where I am. Which firewall u mean?

Thanks

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

I mean the local Windows firewall.

I suggest you delete the directory "c:\program files\sapinst_instdir" completely, reboot the machine and try the installation again.

I deleted it, restarted of course after the parameters and changing the path and now it works and I am one step forward. Thanks.
