Once again I am reminded of the vastness of SAP's product offerings. I've been working on this for 3.5 years and I can barely keep up with your post.

Yeah, the stuff in this post is more just boring configuration and tweaking. I'll be posting how to get the transport management system up and running soon, as it's broken in the trial. I'll also be posting about how it goes with using their VMWare trial that hosts an ABAP+Java stack, it may be a better playground than a strictly ABAP system, albeit probably not as lean running.

Hi,
I just brought a Dell Inspirion and it came with Vista. I only realised after reading couple of notes on google that installing trial version of netweaver is a problem. I saw in your blog that you first installed on Vista and then on XP. For me, installation failed on several attempts, it asked me to install with -console flag etc and ultimately installed all the components. Then suddenly crashed. Now after clearing everthing like registry setting etc, when I try to install it says SAP already installed when it is not. I am very inclined to install XP on my system, but my laptop is just 1 day old and I want to see if I can install SAP on vista itself.. Can you tell me how you could install it? Any tricks?

Hi Vinay, While installing the trial version read the last line of the instalation, there u are asked to clear the some registry. Go by it...u will be able install again.

Also, you may need to delete the following registry keys that the registry cleaner supplied does not remove:
If you still want it to run atop your Windows instance, then yeah, it'll likely run worse than it does now, since it'll have your regular OS PLUS the VM overhead.
That said though, if you wanted to wipe a box clean, I could likely get you an ESX license which is VMWare's bare-metal VM product. Basically, it's a very very lightweight Linux kernel that serves to do nothing more than talk to hardware natively and then launch VMWare server on top of it. Blazingly fast. If it weren't for the 3D acceleration you likely need on that box, you could just run Vista on top of ESX and probably not notice the difference.
