Sneak Preview 6.4 installation - "Error 2" loaduserprofile

[Former Member]

I have a Windows XP SP1 1GHz PC with 512MB RAM and 3 GB of free space and MS SQL Server preview installed.

This error below happened to me with version 6.3, as well as 6.4, and I don't know what it means. It happens a little bit after I begin the installation (the second package "SAP...something").

I have no option to skip this error and have to exit the installation. There are no other warnings or errors before this. Can someone please help?

Hello Joel,

are you logged on as a local user with Administrator rights? IMHO you should also try to get more RAM for your PC. I think 768 MByte are the absolute minimum.

Hi Gregor,

Yes I have full administrative rights as a local account. As of now I don't have resources to buy memory, I can do that later, but I believe I should be able to install WAS on this machine.

Sorry I had a typo in my subject name

Well I reformatted and that fixed the problem, but I'll bet you're right about the local user issue. For some reason all the users created by the installation were listed as having administrative rights, yet they actually had no rights at all. This computer has not been formatted in a long time as well, so it's probably just a system glitch.

Thanks for the quick response!
