Registry Entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\Installations\C:/Program Files/sdb/DatabaseStudio"

deleted works for me.

I had the same problem when installing SAP MaxDB Database Studio 7.8.02.21 and solved it by adding SystemDirectory Expanded String Value to Windows Registry. More info you can find at .

Because of the following error message when starting SAP MaxDB Database Studio, it was also needed to run SAP MaxDB Database Studio for the first time in Run as Administrator Mode. More info you can find at .


Read preferences for user management failed
Goto Window->Preferences->Database Studio->User Management to check your settings
or check the file <indep data directory>/app/dbstd/um.properties
 
See Window->Show View->Event Log Viewer for more details

Hello,

1. Are you SAP customer?

Please post output "java -version".

Is your user in Administrators group for this PC?

2. Please check if you have directory "<user_home>\sdb\Database Studio" < or "C:\Documents and Settings\<yourloginUser>\sdb\DatabaseStudio" > with the subdirectories .configuration, .metadata und p2. If you have, then rename to "<user_home>\sdb\Database Studio".old & restart instalation.

Hi Vignesh,

Could you check for old MaxDB Database Studio installation entries in the Windows registry.

Delete all previous installation entries. Take a restart of the system.

Try installation again.
