[Former Member]

hi,

when i run the SAPinst.bat, the status window SAPinst opens up and says this:

"SAPinst is getting started.

Please be patient ...

guiengine: call to bind() for socket 632 failed. No such file or directory

ERROR 2005-08-11 22:55:00 [iaxxgenimp.cpp:532]

init()

FGE-00006 Attempt to open a communication port connection failed. Check whether the port 21212 is already in use.

ERROR 2005-08-11 22:55:00

FCO-00034 An error occurred during the installation. Problem: error in GUI server subsystem.

Exit status of child: 1"

can someone help?

Hi,

The problem is because the SAPinst uses two ports 21212 and 21213 which are alredy in use.

Try the following :

1. Check if another instance of SAPinst is running if yes cancel it.

2.Check if SAPinst GUI java process is running if yes close it from windows task manager (javaw.exe)

Do let know if it helps.

You can also go through the following link where there are other ways to tackle the error other than given above.

thanks a lot Vijith.

that was the problem.

after i took care of that, the installation went smoothly and finished successfully.

but when i try to open the SAP management console on my desktop, the "Microsoft Management Console" pops up saying "MMC cannot open the file"

any idea why this is happening?

i also don't see anything related to SAP in my "Add/remove programs" window in the control panel.

any help is appreciated.

thank you

Hi,

I have never come across such a situation but still i think that this may be because the file does not exist, or is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient acess rights to the file.
