Hi everyone,
I get this message while installing SAP trial:
Program is starting... Please wait!

I found that post: http://scn.sap.com/thread/1859560
This is the same problem as I have. So I installed the lookback adapter, changed the host file adding the following line:
10.10.0.10 Jérôme-PC
after having checked that my hostname is "Jérôme-PC" of course.
The ping on the IP adress is valid.
PS: I got a windows 7 64 bits and tried to install the SAP trial 64 bits but windows says that the program is not responding then I get this message:
iaextract.c.926: child has signaled an exec error. Keeping directory C:/Users/JRME~1/AppData/Local/Temp/sapinst_exe.16984.1373738765
And also this one:
Program is starting... Please wait!

Exit status of child: 255
So I gave up and tried to install the 32 bits version that gives me the long mesage above
I don't know what to do ... 
Thanks for your help.
I hope you understand my English since I am not English speaker.
