Hi Markus
How were you able to overcome the issue with start_dir.cd file issue. I have placed the start_dir.cd file in the folder where my sapinst is located (S:\SWPM) but when i run the install command the start_dir.cd file is getting generated with in the C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW730\MSS\INSTALL\STD\ABAP with just one line that is pointing to SWPM directory.
Install fails with error that it could not find kernel directory
Error:
*************************************************************
ERROR 2014-12-19 00:24:14.654 [ccdclient.cpp:101]
CCdClient::getLocation()
FCO-00152 Empty package path. DIAGNOSIS: An empty package path was returned by the media server.(Requested package : UKERNEL ) SOLUTION: If software provisioning manager is running with option SAPINST_SKIP_DIALOGS=true, run the service again without that option and you will be asked about the missing package location. If you want to automate the installation, make the package location visible to software provisioning manager ( modify start_dir.cd or LABELIDX.ASC).

Any suggestions to solve the issue?
