Installation Server SAP GUI

[Former Member]

Hi! this is my first post in the forum. I 'm heading to install an installation server for SAPGUI. I've set up my server in Windows XP PRO sp3 . The SAP Installation server version is 8.1.0.231. The Administration server tool version is 8.1.0.149.

I've configured Local Security Handling , to deploy SAP components on the network , to make installations without administrative privileges.

My first test was on a workstation XP PRO sp3, logged in with a non-administrator user. The installation result ok, without errors.

Then i tested on Vista Business SP2 , and i've got errors. After a few seconds , appeared this error window:

"NWSAPSETUP failed o register the installation engine and cannot continue . If running on Vista please right click and select "Run as administrator", else please report this problem to SAP"

Here is the NWSAPSETUPLS.LOG file (Vista client) :

I have all my workstations and server with no firewall settings (disabled).

It seems to be a problem with the privileges, but it is strange that worked in my XP client!!

Any suggestions to make it work on Vista ?

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

Try to start with option "run as administrator".

Vista is an operational system with "manic security"

Check for additional information about UAC in Vista:

Hi, i've checked the UAC. It did not seem to be the problem.

Here is something strange:

- If i execute "
server\sap gui\Setup\NwSapSetup.exe /Silent /Package="SAP GUI 7.20", then i get this error "NWSAPSETUP"failed o register the installation engine and cannot continue . If running on Vista please right click and select "Run as administrator", else please report this problem to SAP"

- If i double click on "
server\sap gui\Setup\NwSapSetup.exe", then i get the Sap Front End installer dialog box. I can select the pack , and install it .

In both cases, i'm running it with a non-administrative user.

The Administrator User created in the server, es a domain user (NT4 - PDC)

Any other suggestion?

Thanks!

Hi,

Please, check "3.8 Configuring Local Security Handling" in "SAP Front End Installation Guide".
