Thanks

Hi Som,

Netweaver CE is supported by following Windows series:

Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2) or Windows 2003 Server (Service Pack 1)

The version has also been tested successfully with Windows 2000 (SP3) and Windows XP (SP1), but is certified only for the two Windows versions above (Note: If you use a Windows XP account without a password , SAP Management Console can not start/stop your instance via Web Service - use system services instead)

For more on Netweaver CE installation check this:

Hi Som,

Can you specify what errors are you getting. Also specify your Java installation as one of my friends faced some error during installation of CE on a Windows 2000 server.
