The opinions expressed in this communication are my own,

I had this problem too, and phoned the SAS Help Desk (in the UK) for
assistance. They said that the problem was the USB support, which
conflicts with the SAS installation program, and that I should install
the FIBERFIX patch or disable USB. I did both of these things but
neither worked. I even installed Windows 95a (which does not support
USB) but the problem was still there. Version 6.12 TS045 (which fixes
this problem) is only a maintenance release so you need to install it
over the top of TS020, which is impossible if you can't install TS020 of
course.
 
The Help Desk were very helpful and eager to get it all working but I
left the job before it got sorted out.
