Usage Note 9475: During a SAS 9 installation, when pointing to a setinit.sss file
instead of the SAS Installation Data file, core error messages appear
When you retrieve the SAS Installation Data file from File (versus
Internet or Existing selection) on the Retrieve SAS Installation Data
window, the following error messages might appear:
Folder Not Found: Core SAS could not be found in:
C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS System\9.0\core.
Continue anyway? Yes
Near Post-Processing you will receive:
SAS Setup - Problem opening the existing config.sas file - ok
After you press ok, you will receive:
Error: DoSetinit: Unable to start "C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS
System\9.0\SAS.exe"! Cannot complete the SETINIT
These messages appear when you point to a setinit.sss file instead of
the SAS Installation Data file. The SAS Installation Data file includes
information about the software in your license (setinit) and other
installation process customization parameters.
SAS emailed the SAS Installation Data File to your SAS Site
Representative (Site Rep). If your Site Rep does not have the SAS
Installation Data file available, obtain the SAS Installation Key and
the Order number provided in the SAS Installation Kit on the Transmittal
Letter (sent to your Site Rep). Then use both the SAS Installation Key
and the Order Number to download the SAS Installation Data file from the
Internet.
See SAS Note #009031 for additional help.
