Hello,

While trying to install CE the installation failed in Step 1. Following is the error dump:

You have to uninstall your MAXDB before you start the installation..

Hi,

Thanks for the responses.

I uninstalled the earlier MAXDB installation and also restarted my pc before starting a fresh MAXDB installation but still the problem persists.

Can you clean your earlier installation manually.

Sometimes the installation are not cleaned properly.

Use this tool
wdfroot\sapmnt\depot\bc\dev\src\ins\fa\tools\CleanupCheck\Windows\CleanupCheck.vbs.

Then start the installation again.

Hi,

Not sure what exactly you're installing but it's definitely not the CE trial version from SDN.

> ERROR: Is MSSQL DB Server running?

This suggests that you're trying to install on MSSQL Server, not MaxDB. Have you already checked that?

HTH!

Do you have the correct R3trans version?
