Hi Sven, the 7.3er installer doesn't know this installregistry. so SDBINST 7.4 collect all data of installations < 7.4 to write it into installregistry. in this way sdbuninst (>=7.4) is able to uninstall older SAP DB versions. in 7.4.03.07 this import is done at installation time only and only one time per installation path. therefore it doesn't know 7.3er installations, which were installed later and doesn't notice version changes (7.3.00.29 -> 7.3.00.30) of such older SAP DBs.
this is fixed in 7.4.03.10! now each time sdbinst or sdbuninst is called the installregistry is compared to the real world and is refreshed automatically. regards, daniel > -----Original Message----- > From: Sven K�hler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Samstag, 4.
