EP6SP2 Install Portal sapinstgui

[Former Member]

Hi

I'm trying to install EP6SP2 on Win2000 with MS SQL 2000 and am getting a problem trying to install the portal via SAPinst. The welcome screen appears and notifies that files have been written to a temp directory. On clicking OK the application closes without allowing any install parameters to be selected. The instgui.log indicates that it could not connect to port 21213 so I have run the suggested command to amend the port number (and several variations!)but the syntax is not recognised....any ideas

Thanks

I had a very similiar problem. My JAVA_HOME environment variable was not set correctly.

Are you performing the installation with full admin rights? Did you try to start the SAPINST GUI from cmd as:

sapinst SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=21212

sapinstgui.bat -port 21212

startinstgui.bat -port 21212
