hello all!
via NwCreateInstServer I am setting up a 7.20 installation server on an Windows 2003 server. After installing and patching the server I am getting the "installaton succeeded"-mesage, but when I am starting NwSapSetupAdmin nothing happens. I can see the task NwSapSetupAdmin for a second or two in the task manager, then it disappears.
What could be the reason for this error? Is there a chance to see some error log´s? I found no Logs regarding this error in %PROGRAM FILES%SAPSapSetupErrors, no log´s in %PROGRAM FILES%SAPSapSetupLOGs either. I also checked the installed .Net Framework. Installed are 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1
kind regards
Alexander
Highly recommend OSS 1587566 to patch the installation server - many fixes in there!

Dear Alexander
please check the Windows event Viewer.
Also please check the NWsapsetupadmin.log files in your LOGS
folder on the Installation sever ( c:\program files\sap\sapsetup\logs )
Whenever you start the NWsapsetup.exe or Nwsapsetupadmin.exe a log file is
created in the logs folder.
There you can see what was happened.
Best Regards
Sven

We had the same problem this morning after deploying Business Client 3.0 on the front end installation server. Afterwards the admin tool just didn't work anymore. Couldn't find any information about it and we were running out of time so went for the quick and dirty solution.
Without deleting our installation server first we just grabbed yesterday's backup and through it over it. This meant all files that existed before the NWBC install were overwritten all others were kept.
Now the admin tool starts without any issues and the NWBC is still installed
Hope this could help someone.
dear all,
many thanks for your suggestions!
Sven, as I already pointed out, there is no log entry in %PROGRAM FILES%SAP\SapSetup\LOGs after Nwsapsetupadmin.exe failed to start.
Eric, I cannot apply the patch. To install it you have to start the server which is the main problem I have here.
I will wait until PL7 is released and then try to set up the server again.
kind regards
Alexander
