Windows
1.6.0_24 Oracle Java 6 The 32-bit JRE is required on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems. Be sure to select a download whose name includes "windows-i586". The 64-bit JREs are not supported.
Oracle Java Runtime Environment version 6 update 45 and higher and, singularly, version 7 update 21 are not supported for use with SAS software due to changes Oracle made to the implementation of the Runtime.exec API. The use of version 7 update 25 or higher is supported only on environments having the Oracle supplied workaround of JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Djdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands=true defined. For specific steps detailing how to update to Java 7 or install a new SAS®9.3 environment using Java 7 contact SAS Technical Support. Please note that as of version 6 update 51 Oracle has not published a workaround in the Java 6 public release, likely because Java 6 has reached end-of-public-updates (EOPU). Customers who require Java 6 public updates will need to use a JRE that is not higher than 1.6.0_43. Customers requiring Java 6 who have Oracle Premier Support may wish to contact Oracle to explore the support of this option at their required level of Java 6.
