If you hunt through the SAS Software Depot you are installing off you might find a folder like this:  <depot folder>\standalone_installs\SAS_Enterprise_Guide_Independent_Installer\8_31 And inside that folder a file named similar to this:  SASEnterpriseGuide831_x86_x64.exe   This is a standalone installation (start by double-clicking on the file) of 64-bit EG which may help to circumvent your problem.

My understanding is that you need to run the SAS Content Assessment tool on your SAS 9.4 installation (it's a free download) and that will migrate your OLAP cube definitions to SAS Viya.
