What are you doing with client software on a server?

And this looks like a message I have been getting quite often, but with no recognizable consequences (login and everything else worked).

Looks like it has got nothing to do with server connections, but with EG trying to draw something (an icon) somewhere.

If EG is working fine from PCs to the same SAS servers then I'd suspect something is missing in the server setup. How did you install it? With the standalone installer or from the SAS Deployment Wizard. I'd try installing again to see if that fixes it. Note EG is an MS .net application so it needs .net libraries to work. I'd also install 64-bit EG not the 32-bit version.

Hi,

Tried all the things even re-installing it but still the same error, Still EM is getting connected and EG is not. Any other way to resolve the issue.

While I don't have an explanation why EG is unable to load this particular icon (Data Exploration, I suspect) for some folks (I can't reproduce), I can tell from the callstack, confirmed in the code (and agree with @Kurt_Bremser) that while it may prevent the Open dropdown button (folder icon) on the main toolbar from being populated, it should not otherwise prevent EG from working in any way.

So what do you think, how this issue can be solved.
because i have searched all the sites 😛 but there is nothing concrete i am getting to resolve this error.

Open a track with SAS Tech Support for your problem.

I assume you are connecting to your SAS server using Windows remote login then trying to open EG in the remote server session. If this is not how you are doing it please explain.
