Sas EG 4.3 connection to metadata server

[spoul]

Hello,

i actually got an issue with sas eg 4.3 on windows 10, unable to connect to sas metadata server 9.2 returning this error message :

SAS.EG.SDS.Metadata.MetadataException: Connection failed ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154)
   à SASObjectManager.ObjectFactoryMulti2Class.CreateObjectByServer(String Name, Boolean synchronous, ServerDef pIServerDef, String LoginName, String Password)
   à SAS.EG.SDS.Metadata.OMSProvider.Connect()
   --- Fin de la trace de la pile d'exception interne ---
   à SAS.EG.SDS.Metadata.OMSProvider.Connect()
   à SAS.EG.SDS.Metadata.MetadataManagerV2.SAS.EG.SDS.Metadata.IMetadataConfiguration.set_ActiveProvider(Provider value)
   à SAS.EG.SDS.Dialogs.ProviderConnectDlg.Connect(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
   à System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.OnDoWork(DoWorkEventArgs e)
   à System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.WorkerThreadStart(Object argument)

i know windows 10 is not supported for eg 4.3, just wanna know if it could/should work?

See this: http://support.sas.com/kb/45/258.html, specifically point 7.

0x80040154 is a "class not registered" error, happens with incomplete/damaged installs of .NET applications.

Hi, thanks for your help, unfortunatly it didn't solve the problem. 

For people who may have similar problems :

our best guess is that the first install had errors but the guy that did it didn't see it, because some prerequesits were missing (.net packages + vc redist). 

So we did perform a reinstall and now i have sas EG 4.3 working in windows 10.
