Launch of SAPInst

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install solution manager 7.1 in a virtual machine, with Windows Server 2008 R2 installed.

It is a from scratch installation and NOT an upgrade.

When i launch SAPinst (as an Administrator), i choose Solution Manager installation option : Central installation.

Then i choose a typical installation.

When i click on next i have the following error :

Running msiexec failed with return code 1603 : Fatal error during installation.

Commandline was

misexec.exe/norestart/L vcredist_x64.log/i vcredist_x64;msi/qn

If you want the installer to retry, choose Yes.

If you want the installer to abort the installation, choose No.

In the SAP Note 1578091, it is told to change TMP environment variable then continue the installation. This solution didn't work, we got the same error.

I tried another solution to copy / past the desktop dvd to c: but it still does not work...

Thank you in advance for your help.

Just create a directory /usr/sap/SID/tmp

Will work for sure.

Hello,

If the issue persists, kindly try reinstalling the vc++ 64 bit restributable.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

This is a Microsoft issue which can be resolved by referring the following notes or the Microsoft KBA.

#684106: Microsoft runtime DLLs

Once you make the corrections please restart the server first. In addition please ensure you are running the installation with a user who has sufficient permissions to perform the installation. <sid>adm cannot be used.

Thank You.

In addition to Deepika's post,

Try to create usr/sap/tmp directory in the path where your SAP will be installed.
