[Former Member]

HI ALL,

I am installing SAP NW 7.4 as a distributed system installtion ( application server one box & datbase in on e box).

I have completed the first step in apllictaion server box i.e ASCS installtion.

Now I came to the databsee server box (alredy installed mssql server ) started DB instance installtion .

Now the issue is after strating the database insatnce in the intila step in sapinst it self I am facing below error :

"An error occured while processing option sap nw 7.4 sr1 --->ms sql server-->sap systems->apllication server abap-->distributed system --->datbase instance  last error:Path componnets reserved charcter ("), "

In the log file error :

FSL-02106  Path contains reserved character ('<'): \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\RsFx0200\<localmachine>\MSSQLSERVER

FSL-06002  Error 1060 (The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Path component contains reserved character ('<'): <localmachine>

Pleae suggest how we will reolve the issue

Hi Sap Basis,

1.open the registry (cmd ->regedit)

2.search <localmachine>

3.del angle brackets "<"">",left localmachine

4.keep searching until fix all errors

5 restart the install program

Hope this helps.

Hello,

It looks like problem with registry value. Could you please check if some registry value contains '<' character.

Thanks,

Hi Sunny,

Thanks for the info

I have chekced in registery found that

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services >lanmanserver >shares> MSSQLSERVER 

Need to replace Path=\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\RsFx0200\<localmachine>\MSSQLSERVER

I think above is the issue I am conatcing on this to MY os team.

Please suggest your views as well
