When older versions of Microsoft Runtime Components such as Microsoft Runtime C++ 2005 Redistributable are already installed on your machine, the newer version finds it, uninstalls it, and prompts you to restart your computer. In some cases, you might see this message:

Allow the Microsoft Runtime Components update to reboot your machine and continue with the SAS installation.

Note that if you are performing silent installations, this issue might cause the installation to fail.
