If you install an older version of the SAS Integration Technologies client on a system that has a newer version already installed on it, the older version will become the registered version on the operating system.

The Correct Way to Install SAS^® 8.2, SAS^® 9.1.3, SAS^® 9.2, and SAS^® 9.3

SAS must be installed from the oldest version to the newest version, not from newest to oldest.

For example, the correct way to install SAS is in the following order, rebooting the operating system after each installation:

• SAS 8.2
• SAS 9.1.3
• SAS 9.2
• SAS 9.3

What to Do If You Installed Your SAS Software in the Wrong Order

If you installed an older version of the SAS Integration Technologies client after a newer installation, you must delete the newer version of SAS Integration Technologies client and then re-install it.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Select Start ► Programs ► SAS ► SAS Deployment Manager 9.3.
2. Click Uninstall SAS Software and click Next.
3. Select Clear All and select and check any of the SAS Integration Technologies products listed. Then click Next.

   

   Note: On Windows 64-bit systems, be sure to delete both the 32- and 64-bit versions of the SAS Integration Technologies products.

4. Reboot the PC.
5. Start Windows Explorer and delete the SAS Integration Technologies directory or directories.

You can identify the newer version because it is installed in the directory without a space in the name, IntegrationTechnologies.

C:\Program Files\SAS\SharedFiles\IntegrationTechnologies

Older versions of Integration Technologies and their path:

C:\Program Files\SAS\SharedFiles\Integration Technologies

C:\Program Files\SAS\SharedFiles(32)\Integration Technologies

The files have to be deleted to force the files to self-register when the SAS Integration Technologies 9.3 is reinstalled.
