When you run the SAS regbld utility, the following error might appear:

   ERROR: A lock is not available for SASHELP.REGSTRY.ITEMSTOR, lock
   held by another process.

Check the following items to correct this error:

   1. Close any SAS sessions that are open.
   2. Close any SAS Services that are running. Check the following
      locations:

      a. Click on Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative
         Tools>Services  and look for any SAS services, typically
         starting with the word SAS.
      b. Open the Task Manager and look for sas.exe, sasmc.exe,
         spawner.exe, objspawn.exe, and so on.

   3. Make sure you have write permissions to the SASHELP directory in
      !sasroot\core\sashelp.
