Hi.. Philip...

During installation when it prompts / gives us to type / Browse the installtion sources like installation master / ker cd's / installation export .......,

What did you do ?

did you browse to the respective directory ??

or

did you manually type ??

I got the same problem on unix like. On oversight instead of browsing i typed manually and by mistake in one of the path i added space in one of the installation source path and installation ended with not able to locate file system error.

if you have typed it manually .. i beleive it could be similar to this ??

Update your reply

Hi Juan, i have checked the guides and /user/sap is created by the installation not manually as in unix.

Still have not been able to get it to work?

Hi Phillip,

One of the pre-install steps is create the \usr\sap folder and all the shares... check the installation guide and make sure all pre-installation steps are completed.

Hope this help

Juan
