I spent about one week to install Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04 on my PC. I encountered a timezone problem during installation and login failure problem after installation. Finally, I found a perfect procedure to avoid all possible problems.

System Environment
  1. Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1
  2. Physical Memory 1 GB
  3. Free Space in C: 50 GB
  4. This machine is just a part of workgroup.  style="color: #FF0000">It is not a member of domain.
Installation Steps
  1. Make sure that you have installed main memory at least 512 MB. Otherwise, increase virtual memory to 1 GB
  2. Apply all critical patches at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
  3. Install WinRAR (if you don't have it yet). The latest trial version as of Today is available at http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar35b7.exe
  4. Download J2SE SDK 1.4.2_08 and install it now if you don't have it. By default, it will be installed at c:j2sdk1.4.2_08
  5. Download the Sneak Preview
  6.  
  7. Extract the archives using WinRAR by right clicking on file NW04SneakPrevJavaSP11.part1.rar and choose Extract here. At this point , you should see a new directory NW04SneakPrevJavaSP11
  8. Change regional setting in Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options as follows:
     
    • Regional Options  
         
      • Standards and formats: German (Germany)
      •  
      • Location: Germany
      •  
       
    •  
    • Advanced  
         
      • Language for non-Unicode programs: German (Germany)
      •  
       
  9. Accept to reboot
  10. Change timezone in Control Panel -> Date and Time to GMT+01:00 at Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna with Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes turned on

  11. Run SAPinst.bat in directory NW04SneakPrevJavaSP11NWSneakPreviewSP11

  12. Log off if necessary
  13. Accept the license agreement
  14. Specify J2SDK path
  15. Leave database parameters as default but adjust I/O Buffer Cache to 128 MB
  16. Enter Log size by 1500 MB or more
  17. Enter Database volume by 1500 MB or more
  18. Verify summary and start the execution
  19. Congratulations! The software should be successfully installed on your machine. Do not test it immediately. Please follow the next step.
  20. Start SAP Management Console on the desktop
  21. At this point, you might see 3 instances here: a database and two SAP (instance number 0 and 1)
  22. You might see the instance 0 is currently offline (grey). If yes, you need to start it now. The color will turn to yellow. It might take a while. Please wait until it is completely started (green).

  23. Add en-us to Internet Explorer
  24. Now you are ready to test NW'04 by opening http://localhost:50000/irj
  25. Try to login with user admin and password admin

For timezone problem, you might try to change your timezone to any timezone with dayling saving enabled.
