Problem while installing SAP GUI

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have just installed SAPNW2004sSneakPreviewABAP on my windows xp system. Now complete installation worked fine but after finishing the installation when i tried to install GUI tool given along with (as separate zip file)the above download it gives error while connecting at port 21212, while installation i selected default ports.

Is there anybody who has ever faced this problem and can help me to sortout this problem?

Hi Rishi,

I think your problem may be that you have not installed j2se 1.4.2_08 to your machine. The installation process uses this.

I assume that you have extracted the RAR file to some place on your C:\ drive. I suggest that you put all of the extracted data in a folder directly under C. This will save you in the end. Next you want to start the executable, double click on the sapinst.bat file. Make sure that you are logged in as an adminstrator to the local machine.

Please follow the guide provided by Sugree. It will definitly help you thru it.

Dear Subhash,

Tahnks for your response.

I have installed j2se 1.4.2_08 at my machine and only after that installation of preview worked.

But now when i am trying to install GUI tool i am facing mentioned problem.

Does Drive name matters for installation? I am using E drive and i extracted files inside e:\SAP folder at my system while i have choosed e drive root for installation.

Do you have some idea from where i can download SAP Logon client? because i could not found it anywhere? Only thing i could find is SAP GUI which has been given as a separate zip file at the download page of sap preview.

Hi Rishi,

As i know i think Drive doesnot matters for installion, but I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS?? anyway what are u trying to say? i dont understand about login client. basically we connect SAP server through the SAP GUI provided by sap, and there are three client created by sap to work on that. they are 000 , 001(for developement) , 066.

so u can login into client through sap gui.

just check the message server

This can be tested by going to the directory where Miniwas is installed, e.g. E:\MINIWAS and executing from a CMD prompt:

saplicence -test pf=DEFAULT.PFL

if it is so, an error message will say: "connect to message server failed"

Solution:

Editing the

%windir%\drivers\etc\hosts.

file and making sure that an entry exists normally helps:

127.0.0.1 p72367

p72367 is the SAP host name specified in the profile DEFAULT.PFL
