Business connector installation error

[esi]

Dear community,

I am trying to install bc 4.8 x64 on win2008 R2 x64 std ed.server (in vmware).

When I run the installer (BCServer48_x64.exe or BCServerXpt48_x64) I get an error:

>business connector install could not find a java virtual machine to load

>you may need to reinstall a supported java virtual machine

As I understand it there is a sap jvm integrated, so separate jre install is not needed.

In any case I have also installed separate java :

>java -version

java version "1.6.0_24"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

but this does not change the error.

Win2008 R2 is supported according to pam and note 1094412.

I have tried using compatibility settings for win server 2003 but no change.

Any advice ?

Rgds, Eirikur.

Dear William,

thank you for the reply.

Since I mentioned the note myself it goes without saying that I have read it and installed the

Microsoft Runtime DLLs.

Apparently a non-sap jre is required for installation.

My problem was simply that the location my java.exe was not specified with the path environment variable.

After changing, the installer is starting.

marking question as answered.

It would have been helpful if you shared how to execute this fix.

Here by the way I fixed it:

First:

Make sure you have a JDK installed!

I used: JDK 6: sapjvm-6.1.043-ntamd64.zip

You can find it here: https://tools.netweaver.ondemand.com/  Press the Additional software tab.

Second:

Go to: http://java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

Here they will explain you how to edit the PATH for different OS. The Windows 7 fix works on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Third:

For windows Users:

When you have the Edit PATH screen open add the correct path that leads to your JDK.

For me it was: ";C:\Program Files\Java\sapjvm_6\bin" (Paste without the quotes but add a ; in front of your path)

Kind regards
