The task "Task" could not be loaded

Posted 02-11-2014 08:52 AM (6580 views)

When doing "File -> Import Data", the error message

The task "Task" could no be loaded because it is not registered with SAS Enterprise Guide

appears.

EG 4.1 on Windows XP (latest Windows SP), remote SAS 9.1.3 on AIX

EG clients on other machines do not show this behaviour.

In EG 4.1 you'll find RegTasks in:

PROGRAMFILES/SAS/SharedFiles/BIClientTasks/4.1

The suggested solution (regtasks.exe) seems to be valid only for EG 4.2 or higher. The install directory for EG 4.1 does not have a regtasks.exe (at least around here).
