[Installation of DB Instance] Can't find the file specified R3load.exe

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to install the SAP Web AS 6.40.

I copied the DVDs to my HDD. I have assigned 60Gigs to my VM Ware instance.

I installed the following do far:

1. MS SQL Server 2000

2. ABAP->MS SQL Server->Unicode->"Central Instance" successfully

Then I tried installing the ABAP->MS SQL Server->Unicode->"Database Instance" thereafter, however I got the following error:

ERROR 2006-10-19 00:12:53

FSL-06002 Error 2 (The system cannot find the file specified.

) in execution of a 'CreateProcess' function, line (278), with parameter (C:\usr\sap\L02\SYS\exe\run/R3load.exe -ctf I C:/SAP/DVDs/EXPORT/EXP1/DATA/SAPSSEXC.STR C:/SAP/DVDs/EXPORT/EXP1/DB/DDLMSS.TPL "C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW04SR1\WEBAS_ABAP_MSS_UC\DB/SAPSSEXC.TSK" MSS -l "C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW04SR1\WEBAS_ABAP_MSS_UC\DB/SAPSSEXC.log").

MSC-01007 ESyException: ESAPinstException: error text undefined

WARNING 2006-10-19 00:25:34

An error occurred during the installation.

Are perhaps my installation steps wrong or something?

Any clues would be much appreciated.

Hello Alen,

-Please confirm that you've insatlled SQL SP3A or higher

-It seems like it is looking for file in:

C:/SAP/DVDs/EXPORT/EXP1/DATA/ directory. Please check that the path is okay.

-in what phase this error happens ?

Yes, I am running MS SQL SP4.

As my thread above states, the problem was with the SAPSID I used. Should have been then same one as defined for my Central Instance.

I got the ABAP Unicode Database Insance installed now.

This is my first time installing any SAP products so I made a silly mistake. The SAPSID I used for Database Instance was not the same as I used for Central Instance. After rectifying this, then my installation got passed that part.
