Usage Note 10239: Using RegBld81, RegBld82, 91Regbld and 92Regbld
Following are the instructions to run the REGBLD programs:
- Go to the SAS FTP site, Index of /techsup/download/pc.
- Download the RegBld executable to your PC.
- Run and install the RegBld executable program:
- Click Start ► Run.
- Click the .exe file.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
/* Set the source location for reg files */
%let loc=%sysfunc(sysget(SASROOT));
filename regfiles PIPE "dir ""%sysfunc(sysget(SASROOT))\core\sasinst
\registry\*.sasxreg"" /b";
/* Create a temporary SAS job for importing the SAS registry files */
data _null_;
file '!SASROOT\core\sasinst\Regbuild.sas';
infile regfiles; l
ength a $260.;
input a;
put "PROC REGISTRY IMPORT='!SASROOT\core\sasinst\registry\"
a + (-1) "'USESASHELP MARK; RUN;";
run;
/* Execute the created SAS job */
%include '!SASROOT\core\sasinst\Regbuild.sas';
