*Moderators: Please note that this original post was moved to the SAP ERP forum, however, this post has nothing to do with ERP. I am applying NW BI 7, EHP 1 to my BI system, and am having problems with the EHP Installer. Please do not move from this forum.
Hello SDNers,
I'm implementing SAP Enhancement Package 1 (SP3) for NW 7.0 on an MSCS BI system (ABAP).
I've downloaded the patches, and the SPSTab.xml file, and have them all in place. I started the application and it gets through the extraction phase ok, except it errors out during the PREP_INIT/VALCHK_INI
See below:
09/03/19 11:42:26 START OF PHASE PREP_INIT/VALCHK_INI
SEVERE ERROR: SAP_ABA is in an undefined state,
that is not safe to be upgraded !!!
Reason: Upgrade wasn't completed.
Call the SAP Support!!!
- "continue"
- "cancel"
Enter one of these options continue := continue
ERROR: Component 'SAP_ABA ' is in an undefined state 'Upgrade wasn't completed' - maybe upgrade was not reset?

I have encountered earlier errors where I was forced to upgrade my EHP Installer (From NW 7.00 patch 8, to 9, finally to 10) and I think this error might be a result of having run the EHPI in an earlier version.
I have read the Troubleshooting documentation, the installation guide, and the prerequisite Notes, as well as done an extensive Google/SAP Notes/SDN forums search finding no references to this error.
I have tried to reset the installation using the EHPI reset functionality, but I just get the message:
"Resetting the EhP Installation is not possible"
There must be some indicator that the EHPI has run before, to cause this error, but I have completely deleted the EHPI directory, so I know it's not in there.
Has anyone encountered anything similar? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Troy Shane
