EHP1 Installation - error during the XML stack file check.

[Former Member]

Hello SAP fans and gurus.

I'm updating CRM with EHP1 and I'm stuck at the phase PREP_EXTENSION/SUBMOD_EXTENSION_NEW/SELSTACKXML. Something wrong with the XML stack file. I get this error:

Severe error(s) occured in phase PREP_EXTENSION/SUBMOD_EXTENSION_NEW/SELSTACKXML!
Last error code set: Error reading stack info, return Code = -1, Reason = 'The stack configuration is not valid for the system CRM, inst.-no. 0020652601'

The trouble ticket isn't saying much, but I'll post it anyway:

There's one problem with the file SAPEXEDB_82-10007250.SAR, which was in the download basket, but is not available for download. I deleted the record in the XML stack file and tried the phase again... with no success. Going through the XML file and checking if the packages have been downloaded is a real pain in the ass.

Anyway, can I somewhere download this file SAPEXEDB_82-10007250.SAR?

Or can anyone help me, how solve this issue different way?

Thanks a lot in advance.

OK, I got it. Wrong installation number. We had to change the installation number in the stack file according the system in the Solution Manager via transaction SMSY. Then it worked like a charm.
