Talk:SAS 9.2 and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 on Windows 7

Thanks for this interesting and helpful page on installing SAS 9.2 on Windows 7. When trying to manually install the Microsoft Runtime Components (vcredst7 and vcredst7.1) the installation begins with a dialogue stating that the InstallShield is preparing the installation of Microsoft Runtime Components 7.0 and after the progress bar goes to 100% the window disappears. Sometimes a Windows 7 dialogue box comes up stating that the program may not have installed correctly and asking if I want to try troubleshoot. If I try troubleshooting the message is that the program is incompatible with Windows 7.

Searching on this program I find that certain files are updated with this installer and that the installation may not work if the files are protected; however it does not seem that any protection has been applied to them. In Windows 7 these files are tucked away in what seem to be very interesting locations, e.g. C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.atl_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_none_11ecb0ab9b2caf3c

Anyone have any thoughts on why the program may not be installing? As noted in the page, without this installation the SAS Foundation does not successfully install.

Thanks

R Perry
