Installing SAP using VMware on Windows Vista

Hi Everyone!
I recently bought a laptop with Windows Vista preinstalled in it.
I know that i cannt install SAP into it without VMware.
Can anyone guide me through the steps to install SAP onto my Laptop using VMware on windows vista.
Thanks.
A newbee

Hi Markus,
I have same situation of Rahul Agarwal.
I bought a laptop with Windows Vista preinstalled.
I am begging in SAP World, i just finished an ABAP Academy and now I wish to install "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - ABAP Trial"(downloaded from sdn.sp) to practice and improve my studies to certification.
I read some other problems placed in this sdn.sap Forum and got by some people that Windows Vista are not suportted and by anothers that its supported using VMWare.
I tried access the link you mentioned "http://service.sap.com/instguides"
but i am not authorized :o(
Could you please send me the detail about about VMWAre, etc... if its possible ?
Regards,
Many thanks in advance,

    Has anyone had success installing SAP AE 600 + on windows vista?

    Hi Alan,
    I have uploaded AE on Windows Vista only.
    Check on the Service Market Place. You will surely get it.
    "LSOAE04_0-10004836" this was the name of the one which we downloaded.

  • Mini SAP 7.01 under Windows Vista

    Hi every one,
    I wanna share my experience with you for installing version 7.01 under Vista. This might help you.
    I have installed the newest version ([Message from Klaus Keller| of Mini SAP under Windows Vista and, believe it or not, it all went correct. It is important that you download version Netweaver 7.01, since previous versions are not supported in Vista.
    In the download section (http://www.sdn.sap.com/downloads/netweaver/abap/disclaimer.html) you find in file part 1 the description of process in a HTML & PDF file. You must pay much attention to what is described there; otherwise, it might happen that the installation process is not sucessful.
    I´m not gonna describe the whole installation process. This is already in the download files. Just a reference of what I did:
    1 ) make a backup of your information and have your Windows Vista disk at hand. It might happen that you have to format the computer´s hard disk if something goes wrong (this happened to me a couple of times in previous versions of Mini SAP and Windows XP). This is so, because it is impossible to erase some files and information in the registry (even with the Registry Clean Tool that is also downloadable in SDN). A new installation try was hopeless in those versions.
    2) shut the firewall and antivirus off before you start.
    3) don´t try to name your computer using special characters like - _ / & % and so on; additionally, name should be max. 13 characters long.
    4) you need a user account for windows, even if you´re the only one to use the computer and you must assign a password to that user. You need it once you start the server through the SAP management console.
    5) Install the Microsoft loopback adapter
    once installed, system names it LAN-connection2 and you must asign a permanent IP address. Press button characteristics for its element Internet protocol version 4, where you enter:
    IP-Address 10.10.0.10
    Subnetwork mask 255.255.255.0
    Don´t touch element Internet protocol version 6 !!
    6) file hosts under c:windowssystem32driversetc --> add an entry for the host like this:
    #Inicio de insercion
    10.10.0.10               jalonso           "<-- this is my computer´s name and host name
    You must have administrator rights and change the status write-protected for being able to modify it.
    7) Process takes less than 1 hour, mostly without user interference.
    8) if desired, install Adobe LifeCycle Designer before starting with SAP GUI. It happened to me once (Windows XP) that the installed SAP GUI was erased during installation of LifeCycle. It all then turned into a big mess and I had better to format the hard disk.
    9) install SAP GUI on your computer, which is part of the downloaded files.
    If installation was sucessful, it might happen that you experience a problem when starting the application server (start --> SAP Netwaever 7.01 --> NSP --> Start application server). You get a red screen with a couple of error messages ([read my post|;). It is not a very serious problem, ´cause you can start the server with the SAP management console anyway.
    Hope this helps you when installing Mini SAP 7.01 in your computer.

    I am having a heck of a time with this install.  My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate.
    I've read and re-read several forums and tried all the recommendations.
    I've tried installing many time now and each time the install runs to 19% and I get a message " stopping Xserver".
    Then it runs to 20% and I get a message "preparing packages for installation".
    Then it runs for about 3 seconds and I receive the following:
    Errors occurred during the installation.

  • When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

    When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the same issue:
    "Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
    If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
    4. Event Viewer
    5. Application
    You will see something like this:
    Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
    "Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
    Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • Radeon 7500 Normal AGP card Without ADC (Used before on Windows Vista PC)

    Dear ...
    i read in some articals on internet that you can use this kind of Cards "Radeon 7500 Normal AGP card Without ADC (Used before on Windows Vista PC)" with Mac G4 Quicksliver 733Mhz ... just u have to install it and leave Machine on for sometimes till dedicated it is thatture ?
    Message was edited by: waldhin

    A Radeon 7500 (as well as any other AGP graphics card) that was removed from a PC must have its EEPROM chip re-programmed to function in an Apple computer. This is usually done while the card is installed in a PC, using a compatible flash utility program and the correct ROM code taken from the Mac version of the same card.

  • Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

    Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

    You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
    In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
    For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
    On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
    "No Technical Support
    Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
    and
    "THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
    In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
    For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
    Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
    If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.
