Hello Thomas, it seems that there is already an installation registry, but the SAP DB software installation does not match with the information stored in the installation registry. As of SAP DB version 7.4 and 7.3.00 Build 32 all persistent informations needed for the software installation are stored in the installation registry. May be there was already a SAP DB of version 7.4 installed on your system, but it was deleted together with all SAP DB registry entries. Then the SAP DB software of version 7.3.00 Build 15 was installed. This version could be installed without any problem because it did not use the installation registry.
Usually you should remove SAP DB software of version 7.3.00 Build 33 or higher and version 7.4 by using the tool 'sdbuninst'. If you are using 'sdbuninst', all related files, registry keys and informations in the installation registry are deleted. Because all SAP DB files in <drive>\sapdb\programs and <drive>\sapdb\<SID>\db and all registry entries in HKLM\Software\SAP\SAP DBTech were deleted manually, the installation information remains in the installation registry. To delete the installation registry now remove all files named INSTREG and INSTREG* form the directory <drive>\sapdb\data\config\install. Please do not delete or modify any other file in this directory. Please keep in mind that this is not the recommended way to maintain the software installation. You should use the tool 'sdbuninst' in any case. Because you already got 7.3.00 Build 33 and the filesytem structure looks likes an SAP system, I think you can access the OSS. There is a new note (599129) available concerning software deinstallation using sdbuninst. regards, Christoph Bautz, SAP Labs Berlin -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Thomas Wiesel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 1.
