Install problem with phase 27 - Install Java Engine

Hello All,

I am trying to install Netweaver CE71 EHP1 on a Windows 2008 server, but keep running into a problem on phase 27 of 39 the Install Java Engine.

Gives me the following error message in the dialog box:

An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver CE Productive Edition > Installation Options > Standard System > Standard System( Last error reported by the step :Process call 'D:\usr\sap\DE2\J00\exe\jstart.exe pf=D:\usr\sap\DE2\SYS\profile\DE2_J00_EITMEDEV02 -file=D:\usr\sap\DE2\J00\exe\startup.properties -nodename=bootstrap -launch' exits with error code 8. For details see log file(s) jstart_bootstrap_J00.log.).

I did a system search for the jstart_bootstrap_J00.log and it is empty.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
