It's a SAS 9.2 version and my operating system is Win 7-64bit Home Premium. During installation, I did something stupid. I thought it took so long time to install, so I clicked "Stop" when it's still installing SAS Foundation. Later when I wanted to install again, there is no response when I try to run the setup.exe on the DVD. Then I copied all the files of DVD to my harddisk and tried to install from the harddisk. The setup wizard run this time but another problem happened: The SAS Foundation Part can't be installed, and the intallation gave me information below: "The install failed to initialize for: SAS Foundation Retry will launch the install interactively for additional diagnostic information. Would you like to continue with the remaining installs?" After I clicked "Retry", another mistake window popped out, it says: "side by side installation of 32-bit and 64-t SAS is not supported at this time. Please remove the installed SAS Foundation before installing this version. " I thought it might be the SAS I stopped during installation at the very beginning, so I tried to uninstall it using SAS's uninstall program in Control Panel. But another error appeared, it said: "SAS 9.2 >SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (390) PAPP:SAS 9.2 PVENDOR:SAS Institute Inc. (##ID_STRING1##) PGUID:F9390B82-786C-43CF-A970-D39E23EF0366 $11.0.0.28844 @Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 6.002900.2180" When I click OK to this error, I then receive the following error: "InstallShield Wizard Please do the following: -Close any running programs -Empty your temporary folder -Check your Internet connection (Internet-based-Steups) Then try to run the Setup again. Error code: -5001" When I click OK to this error, all of the uninstall windows close and nothing happens. What I did next is to follow some posts online and delete manually all the folders and SAS-related keys in Registry. But I still can't read the DVD and install SAS again.(I'm very sure my DVD driver is fine!) I think there is still some remnant I didn't remove but I don't know where.
