warning message in the SAS "welcome window" SAS University Edition

[steguitar]

HI! I have this message warning when opening SAS University Edition. In english the translation should be something like "found a folder named "myfolders" on the virtual machine which isn't accessible in writing". Is it a problem? Does it mean that I can't create libraries or something?

It means you haven't created a shared folder as described in step one here -> https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/university-edition/download-software.html#windows-setup

You also need to make it a shared folder as described in step 3

Hi Chris! I have created it and made it a shared folder in virtual box. I think the problem could be for  windows authorizations. I can't eliminate the check mark, If I do, when I reopen it there is again.

Yes it looks like an authorisation problem; I wouldn't create it under C:\Program Files anyway, try creating it somewhere else where you know you have read/write permissions (say under your Documents folder)

Hi Chris, under "security" I managed to give permission to SAS in "writing", thanks for your help.
