XI Installation on Windows AMD64 -- JDK issue

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello,

We are installing XI 7.0 on a server with AMD64 processor architecture. OS is Windows 2003 server. For XI, JDK 1.4.2 is required. However, it appears that JDK for AMD64 is only available from version 1.5.0.

Does anyone have a solution to this? Like JDK 1.4.2 for Windows on AMD64 hardware. Or any other workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Partha ,

I think the hardware issues is taken care by OS(Windows) not by Java run time. Install your JDK 1.4.2 on windows it should work.

Hope this will help.

Thanx & Regards

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, we have tried with JDK 1.4.2, sapinst throws error that JDK is not valid for the platform. But, I just read that the windows environment variable PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE is set to AMD64 by default, even if the processor is actually Intel (which is, in our case). So, we will manually set the PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE to IA64 and install JDK 1.4.2 and run SAPINST from IA64 directory.

I have a feeling that this will work. Otherwise, I'll be back here.

Regards
