Hi,
Never had so many issues with the NWDS installation. I am on Windows 7 and I wanted to download NWDS 7.1. I tried various download links
https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/ce/index.html
https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/711/NWDS_platform.html
When I try to run IDESetup.exe from the downloaded copy, it always fail with error
"the installer cannot run in the 32-bit subsystem on a 64-bit architecture"
When I try the SapNetweaverDeveloperStudio.exe directly (or in compatibility mode), the 'Software Updates' always fail due to internet connection issue. We don't have any proxy in use and the policy.xml URL is reachable from the browser:
https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/ce/711/policy.xml
What all I tried and didn't work:
- I tried it in 3 computers in 3 different networks.
- I installed both x86 and 64bit versions of JDK.
- I tried latest as well as older versions of NWDS.
- Adding the following to SapNetweaverDeveloperStudio.ini -> "-clean" at the beginning and "-Dos.name=Windows XP" "-Dos.version=5.1" at the end.
- Google and SCN search.
Using a big full installation (7.0) was such a life saver.
Thanks,
Prateek
