SAP Installation

Here is a condensed but detailed explanation of how to best download and install SAP software, without sales hype and repetition. Included are tips on verifying the integrity of each file, and error troubleshooting. Direct links into SAP's websites are provided.

Downloading from SAP

    A development subscription of Netweaver was reduced to $2300 USD in Nov 2008. This was about the same time when SAP removed from public download 90-day preview (trial) editions of Netweaver 7 (2004s) on Windows from is anonymouse FTP site:
     When you get an SDN (SAP Developer Network) login, downloading from
    http://www.sdn.sap.com incurs overhead that makes download sessions time-out  if your computer downloads at less than 700KB/Second (which most don't have).  So download big files using a program which resumes sessions, such as SAP's Download Manager or:
     Download production versions of software available from the SAP Marketplace:
    http://service.sap.com/swdc where you will be asked for an "OSS ID" SAP gives to customers to report problems to SAP, search for SAP Notes, and download software. (swcenter is no longer available)
      Download the SAPGUI 6.2 installer from:
      Ordering SAP Software > SAP Frontend > SAP Frontend GUI/ITS > SAP Frontend (GUI/ITS) 620 Comp.5 (or whatever version you want)
      Download the SAPGUI 610 Patches from http://service.sap.com/SWCENTER-MAIN
      SAP R/3 > SAP R/3 4.6C > Binary Patches > SAP GUI FOR WINDOWS 6.10 > Win32 > GUI610.EXE
