Is this documented as a prerequisite for installing SAS 9.2 from the given medium? If not, the installation instructions need to be updated. In fact, customers who purchased SAS 9.2 without being apprised of this prerequisite are victims of deceptive marketing and ought to be entitled to be reimbursed for the cost of obtaining "the higher-level version[s] of Windows 7". In the longer view, I'd be dismayed that Windows, a fortiori a particular level of a particular version of Windows, should be a prerequisite for installing any mainframe product. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
