Hi,
I was trying to open a news SAS Base session and I received an error saying that one of the temp files on my hardisk is full. After I manually deleted the large tables to clear space I received this error:
ERROR: An exception has been encountered.
Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback information:

After I restarted the machine and tried again but the same error pops up and SAS Base does not start.
I messaged SAS support with the error, but I wanted to know if the issue has been dealt with before.
Thank you!
Possibly a corrupt SASUSER profile. You can use the -SASUSER option at startup to redirect to another location, see if it helps. You can also rename/delete the folder in [my documents]\My SAS Files\9.4 to see if that helps.

Thank you!
I did use -sasuser "<new path>" added at the end of the exe file.
