[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I get this message while installing SAP trial:

I found that post: http://scn.sap.com/thread/1859560

This is the same problem as I have. So I installed the lookback adapter, changed the host file adding the following line:

10.10.0.10 Jérôme-PC

after having checked that my hostname is "Jérôme-PC" of course.

The ping on the IP adress is valid.

PS: I got a windows 7 64 bits and tried to install the SAP trial 64 bits but windows says that the program is not responding then I get this message:

iaextract.c.926: child has signaled an exec error. Keeping directory C:/Users/JRME~1/AppData/Local/Temp/sapinst_exe.16984.1373738765

And also this one:

Program is starting... Please wait!

So I gave up and tried to install the 32 bits version that gives me the long mesage above

I don't know what to do ... Thanks for your help.

I hope you understand my English since I am not English speaker.

Hi Jerome,

What is your host's name ?? How long it is ??

Did check for its binding.

Hi Jerome,

since today there is a new SAP NetWeaver 7.40 trial in the cloud available - no need to install the system yourself anylonger.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-41566 - SCN Trial Editions: SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.4

I know that this is not a solution for your particular issue, but in case your issues seems to become unresolvable, the cloud could help you 😉

Regards,

  Hannes

Hi Jerome,

You need to install the 64 bit version as you os is 64 bit,

and please dont give any special character in host name.

please check 611361 sap note for host name.

Thank you for your response, I don't know why, the notification was considered as spam so I just read the answers ...

I'll post the content of the hosts file when I'll be home.

What is "611361 sap note"?

Hello Jerome,

Please paste here the content of

%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts .

The issue is somewhere in network configuration.

Best regards,

Hello, here is the content of the hosts file:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server

#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

#    127.0.0.1       localhost

#    ::1             localhost

10.10.0.10 Jérôme-PC

Hello Jerome,

According to SAP note 611361:

[...]

General rule for hostnames according to RFCs 952, 1101, 1123, 1178:

Alphanumerical string of alpha characters [A-Z] and [a-z] and digits [0-9] and the hyphen (or minus) character "-". (...)

First of all make the hostname consistent.

Option1

Change the hosts file this way:

127.0.0.1       localhost

10.10.0.10 Jerome-PC Jérôme-PC

Reboot the PC and restart sapinst.

Option 2

Another (probably better) solution is to define a new, virtual IP-address - Hostname pair (instead of an alias like above):

127.0.0.1       localhost

10.10.0.10 Jérôme-PC

10.10.0.11 Jerome-PC

and start sapinst this way:

(...)\sapinst.exe SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=Jerome-PC

But this is more complicated, because other settings are necessary as well, see SAP note 1564275.

Therefore I'd recommend first to try with Option 1.

Hi Adam,

I had the same problem and your recommended Option 1 is very fine and solved my problem.

thank you.
