To circumvent this problem, re-register the tasks on the system:

1. If open, close SAS Enterprise Guide or the Microsoft Office application that the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office is installed under.
2. Open a command prompt with elevated administrator privileges and navigate to the product installation directory. The default location is as follows:
   • C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\x.x
   • C:\Program Files (x86)\SASHome\x86\SASAddinforMicrosoftOffice\x.x
3. Execute the regtasks.exe that is in the product installation path above with the /register option. Here is an example of the command:

C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1\regtasks.exe /register
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\SASHome\x86\SASAddinforMicrosoftOffice\7.1\regtasks.exe /register

4. After executing the regtasks command, invoke the product and verify that the complete list of tasks is available.
