SAP sapinst error. Windows server 2008

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I am trying to install SAP in Windows server 2008 to serve as a DR. But when i use the SAPINST.exe it will load then all windows will close suddenly causing the installation to stop. It just prompts this screen then all SAP installation windows close. Does this have something to do with the java version i used? i used j2sdk-1_4_2_15-windows-amd64. Are there any issues with the compatibility?

Any help is much appreciated and needed.

Thank you.

Set JAVA_HOME in environment variable and check folder permissions.

Hi,

Do one thing right click on sapinst and click on run as administrator. this may be halpfull to you.

if it is not successfull then download latest SWPM and start ( i hope it will not require any JAVA).

Thanks,

I know its an old post but I was having the same issue with the SWPM export recently and changing the temp/tmp directory worked and giving full permissions worked.I also launched SWPM with run as administrator option.

Hi Rosendo,

Kindly once check the configuration using PAM ( Product availability Matrix) where you can find out the exact configuration required for the installation .

Service market place --> Release &upgrade info --> Product Availability Matrix .

There you can provide the SAP product you are trying to install and the database on which you are trying to install . The PAM will give you what are the basic requirments for OS and what type of OS can be used in order to be in compatible with SAP.

There you can find the Java version which you need to be installed and also the ENV variables that need to be set.

Kindly provide me the product that you are trying to install and also the database in order to suggest you more on it .

Hi Rosendo,

I hope that you are using SWPM for SAP installation as SAP doesn't provide installation master now. In SWPM package, you don't require any vendor JDK as SAPJVM is included in SWPM and no variables need to be set up for this.

Try to change at OS level the value of env TMP and TEMP.

Hi Rosendo,

                  Before starting the installation , please also check in task manager whether any sapinst.exe

                  is there and end the process it if it exist.

                  Also check your sapinst version.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rosendo,

Check the output of winmsd command on your server to determine the processor type.

This will help you to identify the correct JRE as well as sapinst version.

The error looks like to be incompatible version of SAPinst.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rosendo,

There might be two cases

1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable properly which is not set

2. Either you have downloaded the wrong sapinst for windows (check the system information it might may be I386 or X86_64)

HI Ashutosh,

I already set the JAVA_HOME in environment variables.
