In reply to KR.

SAS 8.2 is not "certified" for use on Windows 7 -- that is, SAS has not tested it there and doesn't offer support for that combination. That said, it *might* work if you can get it installed, perhaps in compatibility mode.

If possible, I'd recommend updating to SAS 9.3. All of your SAS 8.2 programs should still work without changes (especially if you stick with the 32-bit version of SAS).
