SAP NetWeaver 7.02 Installation.

1.    Before you begin your Windows Server 2008 64bit machine must meet the following System Requirements

• Operating System Windows 7 64 bit Professional (unsupported platform for Trial Installation) or Windows Server 2008
• JRE 1.4.x or JRE 1.5.x (for installation only, JRE 1.6 is not supported)
• Hostname must not exceed 13 characters (Full Qualified Domain Name optional)
• NTFS File system

• Minimum 2 GB RAM (4 GB or more recommended)
• Pagefile size according to your RAM settings.
• Intel Pentium III/1.1 GHz or higher (or compatible)
• 45 GB hard disk space temporary during installation - 36 GB permanent
• High-resolution monitor (1024x768 or higher, 256 colors)
• Make sure that no other SAP system or MaxDB is installed on your computer or has registry entries (multiple instances not supported with Trial))
• The SAP system requires several ports for communication services. Therefore the file %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services must not include an entry for the ports 3200, 3600, 3900 and 8000. A possible entry can be excluded by using the hash symbol (#). (Note: The entry sapmsNSP 3600 for dialog instances may not exist, as it is set to 0 in Trial versions).
• If no DHCP server is available on your network (which dynamically determines the IP address) or your computer is not connected to any network, you need to install the virtual interface adapter MS Loopback Adapter.
