SAS Deployment Manager does not start if you use the stand-alone (independent) installer for the following clients, and a previous version of the client also had used the stand-alone installer:

• SAS^® Enterprise Guide^® 8.1
• SAS^® Enterprise Guide^® 8.2
• SAS^® Add-In for Microsoft Office 8.1
• SAS^® Add-In for Microsoft Office 8.2

When this problem happens, the following error occurs:

The error is seen in the SDM_yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.log file in the following location:
C:\Users\user-ID\AppData\Local\SAS\SASDeploymentWizard\

Use the following workaround for this issue:

1. Remove both the installation of the clients and the SASHOME folder.
2. Re-install the 8.1 or 8.2 client. 

A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release.
