Do you see any error in the log file? The GUI has a very generic error message.

I have looked through the log file and seen these errors.

Hi @SAICAPPSUPPT

Are you doing a clean (first time) installation of SAS on this Machine? If No, Did you properly uninstall SAS for the previous one?

Can you check if any of the port used by agent is in use? Also, Is it possible to share complete log?

I am re-installing SAS on an old machine. I did a full un-install going through the SAS documenatation. I am attaching the error logs.

This may be too late but perhaps could help any one with the same issue. I experienced this while installing a Lev2 and the error occurred due to SAS Deployment Agent had same named service as Lev1 install. The trick is if the binary install SDW page is still up (not terminated). what I did was to navigate to

<some dir>\SASHome\SASDeploymentAgent\9.4\service-wrapper\wrapper.conf' and edited the entries

# Name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.name=SAS Deployment Agent_2

# Display name of the service

wrapper.ntservice.displayname=SAS Deployment Agent_2

# Description of the service

wrapper.ntservice.description=SAS Deployment Agent_2

(Edited to add _2) > saved wrapper.conf > in SDW clicked on Retry and the install continued.
