Go to C:/Windows/drivers/system32/etc/ hosts

Open the file hosts with Notepad

Add one line input the ip address again followed by one space , and the name of your PC as follows:

127.0.0.1 <name_OF_PC>.

Save the file as is.

You didnot mention the OS on which you are trying to install.

Try to change the hosts file to have this line -

127.0.0.1 localhost

Restart your installation.

Hi Priya,

You need to install SQL Server in order to be able to install minisap 4.6D. You can get a free trial version of SQL Server from www.microsoft.com. However I suggest that you download WAS 6.40 ABAP version from SDN, that will help to learn even advanced concepts, e.g. OO ABAP, BSP, Webservices etc.

Seems you were able to install it earlier . The problem may be that uninstall was not clean. SQL Server comes bundled with MINISAP. The installation process first tries to install the SQL Server and then Mini SAP.

Uninstall ( from ADD /Remove programs in Control Panel ) the eralier version of MS SQL Server if it was not done and restart the installation procedure .

Cheers.
