appears when you download a SAS® installation data file when using SAS® 9.0 software
The following error might appear when you download the SAS installation data (SID) file from the Internet when using SAS 9.0:
Unable to Download Data:
The SAS Administrator Wizard was unable to download SAS Installation
Data via the Internet.
The following error was returned:
HTTP Status code 407: Proxy authentication required. OK
If this error occurs and you are unable to retrieve the SID file, use the text file that was sent to you via e-mail.
If you are unable to locate your text file, follow these instructions
exactly to update your SAS installation. The steps must be performed in the order shown.
-
Contact SAS Technical Support to obtain a .dll file called webman.dll. You need this file for Step 6, below.
- Launch the SAS Administrator Wizard (SAW) installation. It is located on the Setup CD: drive letter:\saw\setup.exe.
- When the Welcome dialog box appears, open Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to the Temp space area on the machine. The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\Local Settings\Temp, where USERID is the user ID used to log on to the machine.
Note: This folder might be hidden. You might need to change the view for the folder by selecting Tools ► Folder Options.
- In that Temp folder is another folder named 49a8ce84-9bb1-11d4-882d-00c04f2c39b9}. Open this folder.
- Copy the webman.dll file that you obtained from SAS Technical Support into that folder. Make sure that the file is called webman.dll.
- Proceed with the installation as before. When proxy authentication is required, you should receive a dialog box that enables you to enter your credentials.
This issue has been fixed in SAS® 9.1.
