SAPCAR error reading from UCKx6464bit/KUWINDOWSX86_64/DBINDEP/SAPEXE(error5

Question

Hello everyone,
I am facing trouble with Solman 7.0 installation on windows 2003 Enterprise SP1/ Oracle 10.2.0.2.  It stops at ADS User password stage & shows up the error popup. When I check the logs I get the following error. Tried investigating in the notes & SDN network for know issues but to no success. Tried starting from scratch by reinstalling OS, DB then SAPinst, but hit the same issue. I tried extracting SAPEXE.SAR using SAPCAR it gives the error. "
SAPCAR: could not open for writing sapcar.exe (error 28). The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
It looks like SAPCAR is being use If anyone has faced this issue and can share some light on it I shall be great full.

Hi,
The problem is that you are using the file SAPCAR.EXE for uncompromising the kernel that you have downloaded from market place.
at the time of uncompression a new SAPCAR.EXE file is generated and it want to replace the existing file but that is being used for the uncomression. therefore you get that error.
please change the existing file say SAPCAR1.exe and then try again. it will work fine.
