Several issues have occurred that are related to Windows 8.1 Update 1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Update 1. This SAS Note describes the issues and, where available, the workarounds and hot fixes for handling the resulting conditions.
After you apply Windows 8.1 Update 1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 Update 1 and attempt to install SAS 9.3 (TS1M2) revision 13w18 or later, SAS 9.4 (TS1M0), or SAS 9.4 (TS1M1), this error message might appear:
