Unable to Start Information Composer (SAP HANA Sandbox)

Hello,

First Start IC wouldn't start. I figured out that it was looking for Java 1.6x but the installed Java version is 1.7x (the error message is misleading)

I changed the java version to 1.7x in the script C:\SAP\Information Composer\go.bat line

%JAVA_EXE% -version 2>&1 | findstr /I 1.6> nul

if errorlevel == 1 (

@echo JAVA version is not correct. The supported version must be at least 1.6.

Now the Tomcat et. al. start but the "System" field is empty. I tried adding system in "IC Configure" and I get an error message saying my userID does not have sufficient permissions to add system.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
