In regarding to the no spaces comment above, please see oss note 481019.

The SAPINST used to install NW 7.0 needs to read the system environment variable JAVA_HOME in order to determine the proper java binaries to run the install program. To set the JAVA_HOME:

1. Right click my computer > properties

2. Advanced > Environment Variables

3. At the bottom section (system variables), click New.

4. Variable name should be JAVA_HOME the variable value should be the path of the java install (e.g. c:\java).

I have also found that it would be safer to install java to a directory without spaces.

c:\jre_1_4_2 < this is a good directory.

c:\program files\java < this is a bad directory (notice the space between "program files".

As for the just in time debugger, I don't believe tha't relevant. It's just the SAPINST.exe file erroring which is triggering a windows error debugger. But, the root cause of the error is that SAPINST.exe can't find the JDK runtime bits.

What's the version of JDK/JRE you are using? Where did you install it? What's the value of your system environment variable JAVA_HOME?

Hi Kevin,

I have installed java 1.4 (JDK 1.4) with NetBeans under C:\ Directory in a separate folder called java.

One thing I am sure about that I did not set up the environment variables in the system variables, could you please let me know how to set up that system environment variable JAVA_HOME?, and one more thing is that I am geting error message like Just-In-Time compiler error, and its saying Error Message "In visual Studio I have to set up the Just-In-Time compiler in Tools/Options/Debugging to Just-In-Time compiler" what is this ?, I do not think It was a java error.

My Operating System is Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3

Appreciated your prompt reply.

Thank you,

Ashok
