When you install one of the SAS^® Enterprise Miner™ clients, SAS Enterprise Miner Workstation Configuration 7.1, or SAS Enterprise Mine for Desktop 7.1, the installation completes. However, when you create a project within SAS Enterprise Miner, you receive the following error:

This server location is already registered for use, either by another project,
or by another SAS Application. Or user does not have permission to create
project at this location. Try using a different name for your project, or enter
a different path.

This problem results from a timing issue. SAS Enterprise Miner attempts to connect to the workspace server before the workspace server starts listening.
