Installation is stuck

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have just downloaded the 2 files:

SAPNW7.0ABAPTrialSP12.part1.rar

SAPNW7.0ABAPTrialSP12.part2.rar

for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP Trial Version and ran the installation program (SAPNW7.0ABAPTrialSP12\image\setup.exe) to install NetWeaver 7 ABAP Trial.

After the installation had completed, it aborted telling me the installer could not find the file "sapmmcX86u.msi".

Now, I notice that I have no Start Menu entries for SAP NetWeaver (the documentation tells me to go to Start –> Programs –> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP Trial Version –> NSP –> Stop Application Server to start the application server).

It was then, that I attemped to uninstall and re-install. I tried to find the uninstaller uninstall.exe at <INSTALL_DRIVE>\SAP\NSP\_uninst (according to the documentation), but this file and folder does not exist.

Therefore, I am stuck with a partial installation of NetWeaver and no way to uninstall. If someone can kindly advise me as to how I can repair/uninstall my current installation, that would be great!

I have just figured out how to manually uninstall it. However, I have not figured out why it did not complete - I will try again and hope everything works fine.

Hello Benjamin,

I have the same Problem, altough not complete.

Yesterday I did the installation of the Netweaver Trial version. Installation was succesfully, and after starting the server, settings the correct path in the SAPGUI logon pad, I could launch SAP with my BCUSER.

Today at work, I tried to launch SAP again, but got a shortdump, which is exactly the one mentioned in following link.

Therefore I tried to uninstall the whole thing, using the Uninstall option which at that time I had available via my windows menu:

Programs->SAP 7.0 ABAP Trial Version -> NSP -> Uninstall

During the uninstall I got some sort of Java Error...

So no succesfull deinstallation...When looking at the enclosed help file, I saw the uninstall.exe should also be available in the path you mention...but as stated in your previous note above, the file and/or Path is not available.

Could you please indicate how you did manage to do the uninstallation ??

thanks
