How do i install SAS 9.2 in Windows 10?

elDorado — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 11:04:33 GMT

Hello,

I am having this error installing SAS 9.2 version on Windows 10.

"This application does not support your Platform"

I know that only SAS 9.4 and higher is supported on Windows 10 but I've already installed SAS 9.2 on Windows 10 and at this point I'm not getting it. Anyone have any tips?

Thanks

Hello @elDorado,

See https://support.sas.com/supportos/list?requestAction=summary&outputView=platform&sasrelease=&platformGroup=Windows&platformName=Windows+10

I would say: just don't. It might seem to work, but your users will still experience many problems.

You can try to contact SAS Technical Support.

@elDorado,

You have to simulate the 32-bit environment.

Get the current version (it's free with the license) and install that. No need to waste time fiddling around with something that's ten years old now and called "ancient" by SAS themselves.

Even if you managed once to get it to run, that does not mean it will survive any Windows upgrades. And those upgrades are always in dire need because of security considerations.

Get 9.4M5 and be done with it.
