I’m using SAS 9.2 portable, under windows XP in a virtualized environment, and I need to open a data set with the .sas7bdat extension.

Under another windows machine, with an installed version of SAS, I right click the data set and I open it with SAS.

Unfortunately on this machine S.AS is not installed, as only the SAS portable version is present. Thus opening with right click is not possible, and when I open it with SAS > File > Open Program …. an odd error is showed, as it is not a program but a data set.

How Can I open .sas7bdat files with portable SAS?

    You need to use File Explorer.

    From the top bar:

    View > Explorer > Navigate to your files.

    Yes, SAS is really counter intuitive, he seems to hate the user.
