SolMan 7 SR3 installation : SMD could not start

Question

Hello all,
It's the third time I'm installing a SolMan 7 SR3 (aka SolMan 4 SR4 previously) on a windows 2k3 SP2 server and for the third time, I'm getting the following error on the SMDAgent :

This SMD is installed and configured by SAPinst. I get this error each time I try to start it.
My workaround was to reinstall a new SMD as standalone, which is working fine.
I just want to know why, using a standard SAPinst, I can't have a working SMD from scratch ?
System configuration :
OS : Windows Server 2003 SP2
Proc : Intel Xeon E5130
JVM : 1.4.2_16-b05
SAP source DVD : 51033517_13
Thanks for your help.

Yes, win 2003, x64.
I know version 18 of java stack causes failures and restarts. We changed to version 17 last week. The process which doesn´t start is SMDAgent.
This is the end of trace file...
