open a track with SAS technical support, they are the best for such issues
since you're doing a fresh install, get a current depot (M7, soon M8); no use to risk having issues that may have been fixed in the current release

tried to install SAS9.4 m7, first-time launching showed error:

ERROR: An exception has been encountered.
Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback information:
The SAS task name is [sasxkern]
ERROR: Read Access Violation sasxkern
Exception occurred at (C947E776)

I checked this communities for possible solution, Solved: Error at start of SAS Base (exception 36092C2 and ... - SAS Support Communities. However, it does not work for my issue.

Hey there, @catchnight

By chance, are you running the SAS 9.4 platform on Windows 10? Did you get the issue resolved?

My team did see a couple instances where - if you had a certain Windows Update applied - and your Windows Print Spooler service was either stopped/disabled, the SAS Windowing Environment may not open.

Thanks

Hey,

I also got the same error when I open SAS 9.4.

Thanks to @BrNiel method. I checked my Windows Print Spooler service, I found it is disabled. The way I solve it is to start Windows Print Spooler and then the SAS 9.4 can be open now without error!

Glad to hear that worked for you as well, @King-JZF.

Note: If your organization requires that specific service to stay disabled in an environment (i.e., you wouldn't be able to print anyway) there is a startup option in the SAS 9.4 Windowing Environment that could also be used. Contact SAS Technical Support to create a Case if so, and we can help you further diagnose.
