Following are the instructions to run the REGBLD programs:

1. Go to the SAS FTP site, Index of /techsup/download/pc.
2. Download the RegBld executable to your PC.
3. Run and install the RegBld executable program:
   
   
   1. Click Start ► Run.
   2. Click the .exe file.
   3. Click Open.

      Note: If you are using an autoexec.sas file, add

      -noautoexec

      after the RegBld executable before you run the program. For example: c:\temp\Regbld82.exe -noautoexe. This is not necessary for the 91Regbld or the 92Regbld. The -noautoexec is built into the installation.
      
      

4. Click Next twice, and provide the location of your SAS configuration file and click Next.

   Note: The default locations are C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8\sasv8.cfg for SAS 8.x, C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\nls\en\sasv9.cfg for SAS 9.1.x, and C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\nls\en\sasv9.cfg for SAS 9.2.
   
   

5. Confirm the SASROOT location and click Next.

   Note: The default locations are C:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8 for SAS 8.x, C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1 for SAS 9.1.x, and C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2 for SAS 9.2. The registry is updated and the message "SAS Registry is complete" appears.
   
   

6. Click Finish to close the tool.

Important: Use Regbld81.exe on SAS 8.1, Regbld82.exe on SAS 8.2, 91Regbld on SAS 9.1, 92Regbld on SAS 9.2, and 92Regbld_64.exe (for Windows x64 and Windows 64-bit Itanium).

If any one of the following is true, use the alternative method:

• Installshield is not working correctly and you are unable to run regbld (note that two SAS Notes address these Installshield issues: 7812 and 7655) when installing SAS^® or SAS^® Enterprise Guide^®.
• You are not allowed to download to your site.
• You are not allowed to receive .exe files such as regbld by e-mail.

• If regbld becomes unresponsive or the following error message appears, see SAS notes 6699 and 9924 to resolve the issue:

  Error: SASHELP lock is not available for REGISTRY.
  Error: Read Access Violation in Task REGISTRY.
  Exception occurred at (67A043D2) Task Traceback
  

  Note: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

Alternative method:

Submit this code in your SAS editor:

filename code temp;
 %let dir=%sysget(sasroot)\core\sasinst\registry\;
 filename dir "&dir";
 data x;
  did=dopen("dir");
  if did le 0 then do; putlog "ERROR: could not open ""&dir"""; stop; end;
  n=dnum(did);
  length line $ 300;
  file code;
  do i=1 to n;
    name=dread(did,i);
    ext=scan(name,-1,'.');putlog ext=;
	 if lowcase(ext)=:'sasxreg' then do;
	  line="PROC REGISTRY IMPORT="!!quote("&dir"!!trim(name));
      line=trim(line)!!' USESASHELP MARK; RUN;';
	  put line;
	 end;
	 end;
  putlog "NOTE: REGBLD - " n " entries processed for &dir";
  put '%put NOTE: REGBLD - ' n ' entries processed from;';
  put '%put NOTE: &dir;';
  if did then rc=dclose(did);
  run;
  options source notes nosource2;
