Hi All,
I have lodged a track number; 7613034031 due to sashost.dll locked down issue.

The scenario I having was for the new machine (reimanged/rebuilt). Installation of SAS 9.4 M4 through SCCM was deployed without issue.

Afterward, uninstallation was done successfully with sccm as well. However, I did notice there are left behind like sashost.dll is not removed. So I rebooted the machine then I remove the sashost.dll

From there on Installation always failed through sccm afterward.

Based on the workaround found above by Daniel, I included tasks in my PS script installation & Uninstallation.
Pre Installation/Uninstallation
1. Stop Services "Windows Event Log" ; Stop-Service -Force -NoWait -Name "EventLog"
2. Change the startup type of the EventLog to Manual first; Set-Service -Name "EventLog" -StartupType Manual
3. Remove sas registry sas key have; Remove-Item -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\SAS -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Post-Installation/Uninstallation
1. Change the startup type of the eventlog back to Automatic; Set-Service -Name "EventLog" -StartupType Automatic

Above task resolve my installation/uninstallation issue through SCCM

The target OS in my environment is windows 10 x64.
