This site describes your exact problem and how to fix it 🙂
Thanks for the answer,
I have tried to follow the steps from the link, by changing SASUSER "?FOLDERID_Documents\ My SAS Files\9.4" to c:\users\user-ID\documents\My SAS Files\9.4, still I get the error, I tried to uninstall and reinstall again, still get the same message.
I've tried to follow various suggestion from online but still get the same issue, so now I have decided to wait until see the expert to help me physically or if I will get another instructions to try alone it will be helpful.

This clue was the solution to my problems!
I was having the same issue because I was updating the wrong copy of the configuration file, my depot download came with 3, but I was only updating 1, after I went through and updated each one individually, SAS worked without these error codes!
Thanks Marco!
