      After you download, continue with with step 2 of Part H.

      b. double-click Computers
      c. double-click My Computer
      d. right-click DCOM Config
      e. in My Computer Properties dialog box, select Default Properties

   Connection Successful dialog box appears. Go to
   Part J.

   Connection Successful dialog box still appears. Select
   Copy Text, open Notepad, and paste the text to Notepad
   and send to Tech Support. If you get an error similar to
   the following, go to part J.

      Function Name: CreateWorkSpaceByServer
      0x80080005 -  Server execution failed
      The error E_SERVEREXECUTIONFAILED is most comonly caused by the
      -SASUSER setting the sasv8.cfg file. Try setting that to an
      explicit value instead of one which starts with ! or ?. Also
      verify that the directory in -SASUSER exists and is accessible
      by the user who is running SAS. The could also be caused by the
      user who is running SAS. This could also be caused by an invalid
      setinit in SAS.
      There is no error info available.

Part J. Run regbld82
1. Navigate to http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/pc
2. Download regbld82.exe to your machine.
