Problem installing Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04 Java Edition

Former Member

hi,

i am trying to install the sneak preview (java edition).

i have downloaded and extracted the files.

i have downloaded the J2SE sdk also from the sun website.

i have the j2sdk at C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08

and i have the sneak preview extracted at

C:\jce\NW04SneakPrevJavaSP11\NWSneakPreviewSP11

when i run the SAPinst.bat file from the above folder,

a window pops up saying

"SAPinst GUI could not start because the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 with the latest patch level could not be found"

why am i getting this message even though i have J2SE on my machine? how do i make the installation know the JRE location?

Any help is sincerely appreciated!!

I've been running into this problem as well. What was your solution?

And probably as fast as you did, I've figured it out.

The environment path I had set for JAVA_HOME included the /bin directory in it. When looking for the path, the installation batch file will append /bin to whatever JAVA_HOME has set. i.e. - jdsk/bin/bin, which is incorrect.

I had the same Problem.

move C:\jce\NW04SneakPrevJavaSP11\NWSneakPreviewSP11\* to C:\jce\*

After that, an if you haven't got any SAP Entrys in your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services File, it should work.

This Problem apears because of the limited path-length in Windows.

I hope that will solve your problem.

"SAPinst is getting started.

Please be patient ...
