Balaji,

First use SSH to connect to the server. At the unix shell prompt, type "env" without the quotes. Look for your IP address in the SSH variable. Back at the unix shell prompt, type "export DISPLAY=youripaddress:0.0; set DISPLAY"

Sudo to root level access. Run the "env" command again to make sure the DISPLAY variable is still set.

Start Cygwin on your laptop.

Run sapinst and it will automatically use the Cygwin Xserv to start a GUI.

Thanks,
