NW SR3 installation issue can't find NW export DVD 3/3

[scott_mccullough]

Hello,

I'm pretty decent installing SAP on unix and I'm now learning on windows 2008 R2 SP1/MS SQL 2005. I'm also accustomed to downloading the NW install master, export CD's and unicode kernel dvd. So here is my question:

I'd like to just install NW 7.0 SR3 ABAP only to play around and kick the tires on windows. I've downloaded the following DVD's to start the install:

NW Install Export 1 of 2 51033493_1

NW Install Export 2 of 2 51033493_2

Install Master windows x64 51038621_13

NW 7.0 SR3 UC-Kernel 7.00 Windows Server on x64 64bit 51033508_15

I've already installed MS SQL and SAP jre. SAPINST runs fine up to the point where I point it to the NW export DVD's. There are only 2 export DVDS for an install but 3 DVDS for an upgrade. The install is failing trying to find the third export DVD, but there are only 2 for an installation. I've also doubled checked my install master was correct as well.

It's probably something simple, but I'm stuck....

TIA

Scott

Hello and thank you for the response.

I was setting up a distributed landscape. I had already installed the global host and I was receiving this message while trying to install the database instance. I've since started to download NW 7.3 for Windows. I spoke with a co-worker and it made sense for a demo landscape to use the latest version. I hope to have better luck with 7.3.

Thanks again for the reply.

Hi Scott,

In order to be sure that you started the installation with the path, below;

SAP Netweaver 7.0 Support Release 3 -> SAP Systems -> MS SQL Server -> Central System -> Central System
