SAP CRM IDES EHP1 – Windows 2008 R2 + SQL server 2008

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I’m trying to install SAP CRM IDES EHP1 for testing on a Windows 2008 R2 + SQL server 2008 platform. When I startup the installation  through SAPINST I get an error due to incorrect Windows version. As I read the PAM this version of Windows should be supported. The error message reads that it is Windows 6.1 is not supported.

Any suggestions of how to make it work - am I missing a step?

Hi James,

If it is just a warning in the prerequisite checker, you can ignore it as mentioned in SAP Note #1486772 - SAP Systems on Windows Server 2008 R2:

------------------

When you install or copy your SAP system on Windows Server 2008

R2, and the SAPinst Prerequisite Checker shows a warning that

your operating system version is not supported, ignore this

warning.

------------------

If it is an error, then in which phase is this happening? It might be due to old kernel version or old installer version. Are you using SWPM to perform the installation?

Best Regards,

Daniele
