Hi Moshe,

Can you please tell me in which phase you are getting error.

Also check the hosts file entry.

Make a entry as shown below

<ip>   <hostname>

If you are getting error in 2nd or 3rd phase of sapinst.

You need to check the network adapter.

If you want to install loopback adapter follow the below steps

1.In the host operating system, right-click My Computer, and then select Properties. Depending on the style of the start menu, My Computer may be located in the Start menu.

2.In the System Properties dialog box, on the Hardware tab, click Add Hardware Wizard.

In the Add Hardware dialog box, click Next.

When the Is the hardware connected? dialog box appears, click Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next.

3. In the Installed hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.

In the What do you want the wizard to do? list, click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), and then click Next.

4.In the Common hardware types list, click Network adapters, and then click Next.

In the Manufacturer list, click Microsoft.

5.In the Network Adapter list, click Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and then click Next twice.

6. If a message about driver signing appears, click Continue Anyway.

In the Completing the Add Hardware Wizard dialog box, click Finish, and then click OK.

With Regards

Hello Moshe,

Are you installing Netweaver 7.3 or older version?

The above error is related to java.

Do you have Java installed on your host, when you run sapinst, it needs java to give you the installation GUI if you are at older version of Netweaver.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Akshay.

Hi Moshe,

Your new message which is shown in above screenshot is due to already  runnning sapinst ,please chek it using task manager and kill sapinst.if possible please reboot the server .

After that please start the new sapinst.

Best Regards,

Atul
