The SAS^® 9.2 Intelligence Platform Pre-installation Checklists and the checklists that are provided with the Standard Deployment Plan files do not specify the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is required to install SAS 9.2 in the Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 operating environments.

Required JREs

For SAS 9.2 installations under Microsoft Windows 7 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, you need to install the correct JRE before you start the SAS installation.

• For Microsoft Windows 7, Java 6 Update 14 32-bit (also known as Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0_14) is a prerequisite for running SAS 9.2.
• For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, the Java 6 Update 23 32-bit (also known as Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0_23) is a pre-requisite for running SAS 9.2.

Note: Java 5 is not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Reference SAS Note 40501 "SAS^® 9.2 requires JRE 1.6.0_14 32-bit on Microsoft Windows 7 system and JRE 1.6.0_23 32-bit on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 systems" for the more information about this topic OR if you have previously installed SAS 9.2 and used the wrong JRE.

JRE Installation Instructions

For Microsoft Windows 7 Operating Systems:

Install the Sun 32-bit JRE 1.6.0_14. Note that you must install the 32-bit JRE even though your machine is 64-bit. You must install this JRE before you run the SAS^® Deployment Wizard.

1. Click here to go to the Oracle Sun Developer Network page.
2. From the Java SE Runtime Environment 6u14 screen, select "Accept License Agreement" and then click jre-6u14-windows-i586.exe.

   

   Note: Do not click jre-6u14-windows-x64.exe or jre-6u14-windows-ia64.exe. These are 64-bit versions, which are not supported with the SAS installation.
   
   

3. If you are already registered on the Oracle Web site, the File Download - Security Warning dialog box appears. If you have not registered yet, you might be required to register at this point before you can continue.
   
   
   
   Click Run.
