官网support：

When you try to start SAS University Edition, you might see this error message:

The launch of the server process failed with an unknown status code.

This error indicates that the shared folder is in a location that requires administrative rights to access. To correct this issue, move the SASUniversityEdition shared folder to a location that the virtualization software has permissions to access

基本上就是你需要跟虚拟机share的文件夹处于某个被保护的位置，重新在其他地方新建需要建的share文件夹然后虚拟机设置里面关联到新的位置应该就行了。
