Installation Note 36058: The installation might fail when you install SAS® 9.2 Foundation from a SAS Software Depot if the fully qualified pathname is too long
When you install SAS 9.2 Foundation software from a SAS Software Depot, the installation might fail. If this happens, you will see the following error in the sasinstall log file:
PROCFILES: --> The following error occurred while installing
C:\Program Files\SAS\SASVersionedJarRepository\9.2\eclipse\plugins\
sas.analytics.cmpfuncetsmdl.nls_902000.0.0.20090116170000_v920
\sas.analytics.cmpfuncetsmdl.nls.jar:
-2147024894, The system cannot find the file specified.
The sasinstall_date_time.log file is located in the
SASHOME\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\9.2
directory. The default location is:
C:\Program Files\SAS\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\9.2\
sasinstall_date_installed_time_installed.log.
The issue is caused by a fully qualified path name that is too long.
The maximum file name supported on Windows XP is 255 characters and on
Windows Vista it is 260.
Use a filename and path to the SAS Software Depot root that is no more than 50 characters. Several directories in the SAS Software Depot are long.
