Installation of SAP 4.7 Ides

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am new to SDN Forum. I want to install SAP 4.7 Ides on my computer.

The system specifications are as follows:

OS: Windows Vista Home Basic

RAM: 1 GB

HDD : 120 GB

Processor: AMD Turion 1.6 GHz

Let me know if Windows Vista supports SAP installation? And if so can I get the step by step procedure of installing the same.

Vista is NOT supported - you will need to install Windows 2003 or use VMWare.

As per your response to my query, I see that SAP cannot be installed on Windows Vista.

Can you tell me if I can install VMware or Windows 2003 from amy website that is available online?

Well - "SAP" in Version R/3 Enterprise 4.7 can´t - but newer versions can be installed (with special kernels).

VMWare and especially Windows 2003 is software, that must be bought and licensed to have the right to use it - same goes for the SAP software and the underlying database - it must be payed (also for "training purposes" you need to have a valid license).

You can use Linux as alternative, which can be downloaded from Redhat or SuSE as 30-day evaluation, it will continue to run but you won´t get any updates.
