I installed JDK 1.4.2_06 which is the stated version on note 716604 for NW04 SR1, and when I get prompted for the JDK directory on SAPINST.EXE from Installation Master for I386, then start the startinstgui.bat, (I get the following error within the sapinst.exe welcome wizard;
Directory C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin is not a valid JDK directory: the java executable is missing
This was the directory sapinstgui.bat ran with JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin\java.exe
Weird? Why is the directory with java.exe accepted by SAP GUI, but not by the sapinst?
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06
PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_06\bin
We are new to SR1, any help would be appreciated.

Hi James,
I believe that you need to download and install the j2sdk1.4.2_06 not just the JRE.

Daniel,
could not find j2sdk-1_4_2_06 on http://java.sun.com?
I tried j2sdk-1_4_2_05 and sapinst.exe accepted it, obviously, it may not work after the install.

Hi James,
take 1.4.2_07 from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Hope it helps

Hi James,
For some reason sun like to hide the old versions away. I think mostly to make us frustrated...
It can be downloaded as I recently got it, I think I searched on google for it...
I would listen to Detlev anyway and download the 07 version as he is usualy right about such matters.
Cheers
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
for many reasons, I like SUN (for some, I do not). In this case, they are really nice: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html
Second, thanks for the complement Anyhow, in this case my posting does not rely on deeper experience. But:
The _xy versions of a JDK are bug fixed versions without API changes (so: mainly bug fixed JVMs). Apart from the (very seldom, never experienced) case of a regression, in general such bug fixed versions work. Or better: The probability that the software won't crash in general should get increased. So it is generally advisable to upgrade the JDK _xy versions.
Hope it helps

Detlev,
We got done with NW04 SR1 for standalone. You have a brief process flow on the distributed components on NW04 SR1? Basically, If we are running a DB+CI on a four (4) processor server separate from the two J2EE servers (two load-balanced J2ee nodes), what would be the options on Sapinst.exe wizard? Thanks.
Regards,
James
Hi James,
You stated the path to the jre instead of the sdk.
That would make it:
JAVA_HOME=C:Program FilesJavaj2sdk1.4.2_06
PATH=C:Program FilesJavaj2sdk1.4.2_06 in
So the error is correct....
