SAP 4.7 installation windows:

Installing SAP 4.7 on Windows XP Pro
and Windows Server 2003:

Minimum System Configuration:
OS: Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3
RAM: 2GB
Processor: 1.6Ghz
Hard Disk
C: Windows OS – 60GB
D: 110 GB – I installed SAP on this empty drive

Minimum System Requirement:
WinXP Pro/Windows Server 2003
Min RAM (I am told 512MB is fine, but I think it will really slow down the installation)
HDD – 120 (If installing on your laptop/desktop)
External HDD: 80GB (You can install SAP IDES 4.7 on external HDD also, so it’s ok if your local
machine has less space available on it)
System name (My computer>right click> properties> computer name - to be less than 13
character. If the system name is more than 13 characters, click on change and type HOME or
something to that effect.

SAP GUI 6.20
download it.
File size: 456MB

SAP IDES 4.7 Installation files. File size 14.5GB

Important Files:
51020178_1, _2, _3 are very important. They contain EXPORT_1,to _7 folders
Oracle folder installs oracle on your drive

Install MS Loopback Network Adaptor
Why? SAP requires some sort of network connection. If you are on the internet and also
working on SAP , and your connection drops…you will be disconnected from the SAP Server.
Go to control panel and click on Add Hardware and follow the directions as below

Enter the IP address for the adapter
Go to Network connection
Right click on Local Area Connection 2
Go to properties and click on Internet protocol TCP/IP and click on properties and enter the IP address

Go to cmd prompt (Start menu >Run > cmd) type ipconfig.
This should give you IP address you just configured for the adapter

Increase the Virtual Memory:
My computer>Right click>Properties>Advanced>Performance-Setting>Advance> Virtual
Memory>Change. (Note: If your system conf is very good, then I guess you can leave it as it).
Click on set and ok.

Oracle Installation
Go to the SAP Installation file

Create the DB? NO
Click on Install and the installation would run.
At about 14% in to the installation, the installer would ask for Oracle cd 2location
Click on browse and give the path as below
At about 45% the installer will ask for Oracle cd3 location.
Click on the browse button and give the path as below

the Perform Typical Configuration and click next.
Restart the System.

Now lets install the J2ee sdk file that was downloaded. Double click on the file
Note: If you have Spyware Doctor running, it will block the installation. So either shut it down or
go to Spywarew Doctor’s Setting>History>add the particular event to global action list>then go
to the global action list>right click the event and allow it. The reason I am mentioning it here is
because if you have some spyware installed, it might interfere with the installation as it did with
my JAVA installation.
Click on Yes for the license agreement and change the installation folder to C:\j2sdk
On the next screen, give the 8 character password and click next
Uncheck the Register Application server and click next.
