install Mini SAP and SQL 2005

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I hope someone can help me with the question.

I’ve bought the ABAP objects book called “An Introduction to Programming SAP Applications” from Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger (black color). There are 2 CD's to install the application Mini Basis SAP and work with the ABAP workbench. I was able to install that on a pc Win2000 and it worked and that pc had no sql server/database installed

But I've now another pc Windows XP and has has SQL 2005 Dev edition. I need to keep this.

My problem is when I try to install the Mini Basis I get error. Is it because of I’ve already installed the Ms SQL 2005 dev edition?

I’m using Windows XP prof edition. How can I install on XP pro this software on my pc keeping the SQL 2005?

I have tried resume_setup.bat and also enabled remote_services for the registry update. no hope.

Can someone please help?

Cheers, mesut

Mini SAP is a tiny SAP with basic ABAP support and no modules installed that you can use to learn and test some ABAP and DDIC in you own PC at home.

You can find it through the book "ABAP Objects" in the following edition:

a basis consultant can help you to get a MINI SAP cd.

You must go to SDN Downloads for free download od mini sap.

Hi Sravan,

That's exactly what I did. I bought the book and I try install on Win XP pro with SQL 2005 dev edition pre-installed.

I'm in possession of the Mini SAP, I own the book. I also looked at the site you suggested

http://www.sap-img.com/mini-sap.htm.

It seems to be I should be able to install on WIN XP pro due to the site above.

This is how a work

1) CD 1 starts with home page

2) I choose REsume (because I have already pre-installed the SQL 2005)

3) Setup starts

4) asks me which directory, it proposes C:\MBS -- I accept

5) It asks me where is the DATA and the KERNEL CD --- it proposes 😧 ---I accept

6) at the mean time I click on switch view and I see the logs and this is finally I get (I just copy/paste below the errors no the whole log)

So I don't know how to proceed further. I contacted SAP and they propose me this forums.

Could you please advice?

thanks mesut
