Hi All,

which are mentioned below.

1. J2EE engine - C:\usr

2. Database Software - C:\sapdb

3. NW IDE installation - C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT

4. DTR workspace & clients - C:\Documents and Settings\c5057950\.dtr

5. Development Configurations & DCs - C:\Documents and Settings\c5057950\.dtc

6. NW IDE default workspace - C:\Documents and Settings\c5057950\Documents\SAP

7. NW Sapinst Dir – C:\Program Files\sapinst_dir

After that, While i am going to install j2ee(O4) machine, got below error.

ERROR 2007-07-25 12:22:12

Hi Mutyal,

The solution to this problem is available.It simply means,that there is some software link of database which is not even visible in the regedit ,to delete it.

So,follow these steps,

1.Install a database manually by running a sdbinst file.Database should be the same which you wanted to uninstall before.

2.after the installation is done,You have to go to Settings--

---

>control panel-->Add or remove programs.

Remove all the Database contents now.You can see,that the Database which you were not able to remove before can be removed now.

3.Restart the system for the effect to take place.

4.Then Run DB setup.exe files to remove any DB content,if there are any.

5.After removing,Again run the same setup.exe files to install new DB setup.

6.Now do the installations,it will go fine.

reward points if helpful.............

the error will simple means the uninstallation is not clean

See SAP Note 599129

Try with program sdbverify (/sdb/programs/bin/) to check what all components are still installed on your server and them remove them with : sdbuninst -all

or any sdb file under /etc/opt ? i.e /etc/opt/sdb

or try to rename /usr/spool/sql, which might contains previous DB info.

Please go to registry and clean the previous DB information.

Go to RUN -> REGEDIT

Check installation guides.

cheers,
