Problem Note 35654: SAS® Enterprise Guide® 4.2 projects cannot be scheduled in a Windows x64 operating environment
 |  |  |  |  |
When you attempt to schedule a SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 project in a Windows x64 operating environment, the Visual Basic script fails with an error similar to the following:
Script: C:\EGP\EGScript1.vbs Line: 7 Char: 1 Error: Object required Code: 800A01A8 Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
This error is related to using 32-bit Component Object Model (COM) objects on x64 platforms. The current workaround is to create a .bat file that points to the 32-bit cscript file and then use the Windows Scheduler to schedule the .bat file to run. The contents of the .bat file should look similar to the following:
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\cscript C:\EGP\EGScript1.vbs -l
