An error occurred applying the setinit file
The SAS Renew Software tool does not verify the operating system name before attempting to
apply the SETINIT, causing the following error message to appear:
Renew SAS Software – SAS91_xxxxxx.txt
An error occurred applying the setinit file. Please refer to the
log file for additional information C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS
9.1\setinit.log.
Click OK. Your SAS Software has not been renewed yet.
You may renew at a later time.
Are you sure you want to exit? Yes or No. If you select No,
change the folder location, then click Renew to complete or
Cancel to exit.
Open the setinit.log to see why this is happening. If the problem is due to the wrong
operating system, the setinit.log will look like this:
NOTE: The OSNAME= option specifies 'WIN ' but the current
operating system name is 'NET_SRV'.
ERROR: This non-match is not allowed and the setinit stream will
not be applied.
ERROR: Cannot change the site validation data.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of
errors.
If this problem is due to an incorrect release of SAS, the setinit.log will look like this:
Error: Will not attempt to apply setinit because the current
release of 9.1 and the release= option value of 9.0 do not match.
To correct this file, obtain a new SAS Installation Data file with the correct operating system
or release of SAS. Note that the system names might vary depending on the operating systems
involved.
The setinit.log file is located in the !sasroot directory. The default directory for
!sasroot is C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1.
