ABAP Workbench - can't install - book-Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger

Hi there,

I hope someone can help me.

I bought the book "ABAP Objects" An Introduction to Programming SAP Applications author Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger. There is a CD included to install the ABAP Workbench.

I'm able to install the CD on WIN XP PRO. But I also need to work with SQL 2005. So I try to install on a machine which already has Win XP pro and SQL2005.

I created a loopback adapter.

Due to readme.doc you should run resume.bat, but it doesn't work. I also tried start installation and I get the error below
