You can’t schedule SAS 9.2/4.2 EG projects on windows x64

### Update from Chris @ SAS via comment “We did fix this issue for Enterprise Guide 4.2 maintenance 2 (4.22, released around Sept 2009) β€” so that EG will add a reference to the correct version of cscript. And of course, it’s correct in 4.3.” ###

Customer picked up an issue with not being able to schedule EG 4,2 projects successfully on Windows 64 bit operating systems.

SAS Support have posted a note:

http://support.sas.com/kb/35/654.html

Which outlines a workaround to manually create a .bat file to run the scheduled projects.

    Shane,

    The issue is that by default, a VBS file will “execute” using the 64-bit version of wscript or cscript on a 64-bit machine. The fix is to reference the 32-bit version of these tools, because EG is a 32-bit application.

    (See http://blogs.sas.com/sasdummy/index.php?/archives/201-Should-you-care-about-64-bit-applications.html for more about that.)

    We did fix this issue for Enterprise Guide 4.2 maintenance 2 (4.22, released around Sept 2009) — so that EG will add a reference to the correct version of cscript. And of course, it’s correct in 4.3.

    As always thanks Chris for the update. Any chance you can update the support note? (not everybody reads my blog ;-)
