Hi FJ,

Are you checked in PAM?

Is SAP MaxDB supported to install in Windows 8 Pro?

The technical requirements don't mention specific operating systems, do they? Just 32 or 64 bit.

Hi FJ,

Windows 8 is not Server OS, it Client OS.

SAP and Database always recommended to use Server edition for Operation systems.

This is not helpful - I have run MaxDB on XP and WIndows 7 for over 10 years.

Hi FJ,

Yes. We can run...not only MaxDB, all SAP Products also we can run on XP and Windows 7.

But SAP recommended to use Server edition.

Hi Lalor,

Could you attach the logs from /SDB/install folder ?

Attached screenshot does not contain any error details.

Hi Lalor,

As per the logs you are executing the setup with user Joe.


INFO:        USERPROFILE = C:\Users\joe

Could you execute the same with Administrator user  and check the results.

Joe is the administrator and I "run as administrator" when executing the install exe
