Error: Installing CE 7.1 SR3 Trial version Error @ Step 27 of 35

[paras_arora3]

Experts,

I am trying to install SAP Netweaver Composition Environment 7.1 SR3 trial version, after filling in the installation parameters while executing the set up fails/hangs at step 27 of 35. With the following error message ;

Cannot start instance service of instance CE1/SCS01 on host b4b-3f-034-3f5. SOLUTION: Start the instance manually and choose OK to continue

I keep on receiving the same message, even after manually starting CE1 instance via SAP mmc console, after 2 -3 repeated attempts the set up either hangs at step 27 of 35 displaying the error dialog as above repeadetly or the set up exists giving the following error msg in the error dialog;

An error occurred while processing service SAP NetWeaver CE Developer Edition > SAP NetWeaver CE Development System( Last error reported by the step :Cannot find sapcontrol executable at these locations:
b4b-3f-034-3f5/sapmnt/CE1/SYS/exe/uc/NTI386/sapcontrol.exe.). You may now

choose Retry to repeat the current step.

choose View Log to get more information about the error.

stop the task and continue with it later.

Log files are written to C:\Program Files/sapinst_instdir/CE71_DEV_ADA/INSTALL.

Guide me resolve this, maximum points would be rewarded immidieatly.

Hi Paras,

Try with uninstalling the previos installaion and removing all entries from regesitry. Also remove all the folders from the directory manually.

Before installation check

"If no DHCP server is available on your network (which dynamically determines the IP address) or your computer is not connected to any network, you need to install the virtual interface adapter MS Loopback Adapter. "

You can refer the documents for MS Loopback adapter installation from DVD "CE 7.1 SR3\DOC\html\loopback.htm"

Try to reinstall the CE after that .

Regards,

Niraj

ps: plz provide points if it helps...

Hi Niraj,

For some reasons my system has been assigned a static IP, hence I am not sure if DHCP server will be available or not!! , how can I cross check its availability ? What do you suggest I should be doing, in this scenario ?

Thanks

Hi Paras,

If you've been assigned a static IP I guess it doesn't matter if a DHCP server is available or not. You should install the MS Loopback Adapter in this case.

HTH!

Vladimir,

After installing the MSLoopback adapter, i re-ran the installation using the old control files, this time around the setup completed but jstart.EXE AS Java process could not start on its own, when I tried to start the process manually via restarting the server instance. Post some delay I receive the error dialogn "jstart.EXE - Application Error The instruction at "0x6d634626" referenced memory at "0x6c0917e1". The memory could not be "read" Click on OK to terminate the program, Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

Whereas jstart.EXE continuously displays the status as "Starting the processes" and I am kept waiting for more than couple of hours, please suggest the way out of this, towards completion.

You should check which process is in starting mode and make several consecutive thread dumps out of it. This can help you analyze the issue.
