SAP R3 install error- please help

[Former Member]

While i'm running SAP 4.6 R/3 setup for Central service, i got this error and i did not understand what can i

modify to fix the problem. The install dir. is actually root dir. Could you suggest me the fix to proceed with the installation.

Once i changed the <INSTALDIR> to other than root '/' dir. install passes to next step. But now i hit different error. Can someone tell me what could be the issue here.
