Procedure to install abap + java trial on windows xp

Question

Hi,
I have ordered SAP NetWeaver 2004s ABAP Trial Version CD (system id "NSP", release 7.0 + SP8), installed it successfully (I could start it and work with it), and I then tried to install JAVA Trial (system id "J2E", release 7.0 + SP11 ; I downloaded it from the SDN link) application server right afterwards.
In step 2, I've got an error stating that DIR_PROFILE could not be found.
In fact, it seems that the error comes from SAPSYSTEMNAME undefined as shown in sapinst_dev.log file:
TRACE      [iaxxejsexp.cpp:188]
           EJS_Installer::writeTraceToLogBook()

Can't resolve parameter SAPSYSTEMNAME in profile. Returning undefined.

  1: function CHECK_VALUE_AGAINST_REGULAR_EXPRESSION ( regexpPattern , value  )
  2:  {
  3:   var installer = new Installer();
  4:   var context = new Context();
etc.
Note that C:\usr\sap does not exist yet (I guess the system should create it later).
Do you have an idea how to correct this problem?
thx a lot

Hi Sandra,
did you install the loopback adapter? Check Re: Sneak Preview NetWeaver2004s ABAP installation help.
