OLEDB INSTALLATION windows 64-bit

[sam1231]

Hi All

I am trying to install OLEDB on my windows 64 bit. I downloaded latest package of OLEDB. I have below questions.

1.) How can i check if i have OLEDB installed or not? PROC SETINIT;QUIT; shows OLEDB in log if its installed?

2.) I have sas 9.4 already installed. Do i need to uninstall sas 9.4 before installing OLEDB?

3.) I am not able to change location for OLEDB installation since its grey.  

 

Download README mention

Note: You should not select a SAS Home where SAS software already exists. Software from the
download page should be installed in a clean SAS Home.

Please let me know how can i download OLEDB successfully ?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi @sam1231 

1) If you have SAS/Access to OLE DB licensed, then it should be there in the proc set-init output.

2) You can add on SAS Software on top of the currently installed software.

3) The path in the snap is pointing to your SAS-Home. By default all the binaries would get installed in this location. If you already have SAS Software installation, SAS Deployment Wizard is intelligent enough to pick this location and add to it.

System requirements for OLE DB:

(http://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikfdtnwx6sr/66390/PDF/default/sreq.pdf)

SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB
Base SAS software is required for the installation of SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB.
DBMS Product Required: An OLE DB data source provider
Before you can use SAS/ACCESS Interface to OLE DB software, an OLE DB provider for the data
source where you want to access data is required. OLE DB providers are often available from DBMS
vendors and other third-party software vendors.
The OLE DB provider that you select might require additional DBMS software for network access. All
required network software supplied by your database system vendor must be 64-bit-compliant. The
64‐bit version of the OLE DB provider is required for the data source

You can find SAS Providers for OLE DB here - https://support.sas.com/downloads/browse.htm?fil=&cat=64

Download the one specific to your SAS Version.

Once you have verified that the pre-requirements and all the required software is in place, you can find the instructions here to establish connectivity. https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=bidsag&docsetTarget=n0gu0ue4ptm3ocn1iw6tzw4tb9pt.htm&docsetV...

Hope this helps!

That appears to show SAS OLE DB already installed.

Hi @sam1231 

This isn't error, its a warning by SAS Deployment Wizard which detected that the order you are using to install has components that are of a older version when compared to the ones already installed.

You will have to choose the correct version depending on the software already installed. You can find the exact version of your software (along with maintenance release version) in the output generated by PROC SETINIT;
