Because starting for ABAP, I tried to install the NetWeaver-Trial version to my Windows 7(64bit), This fails with message:
An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 > SAP Application Server ABAP > MaxDB > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step :Creating node $(DIR_TRANS) with type DIRECTORY failed. Original exception text was: syslib.filesystem.nodeCreationFailed: Unable to create node \\Wi7LSY5985\sapmnt\ with type DIRECTORY: can't create parent node...).
The process displayed some incompatibilities of my system. I'm astonished about the first one. At the download page it is said, that the trial-version requires Windows 7 and here I find that this might not be true.
But my problem is probably the second message. I've got only a german issue of the Windows System, so the security groups have different names. How can I address this. On the download page it is mentioned, that the software requires a english version - now I know why. But I can't believe that SAP as a german company does not provide a version for a local distribution of the OS.
So my question is, whether I either can fix the error or whether there is another distribution of the software for my german windows.
