10 Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows
Requirements Wizard will be used to prepare your end user machines for SAS Software. SAS
Setup will then be used from this image to install the software locally on an end user’s PC.
Users who will use this image to install interactively should be instructed to run the AutoPlay
from the image you have just created by running:
<Source Path>\Disk1\Setup.exe
In this example, Source Path is the destination that you provided when you created the
image.
For more information about the process of installing interactively, refer your users to User
Installation Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation which is on the Documentation for
Installing and Configuring SAS CD and on the Install Center Web site, or you can select
the “View User Installation Guide” option from the SAS Software Navigator.
Creating CDs for Personal Users Without Network Access
For users who are not connected to the network, you may want to create installation CDs.
This method allows you to limit the software that the user is able to install. Each CD would
include the SAS Installation Data file that you received from SAS.
The SAS Administrator Wizard automatically creates CD images on the network when the
End User Type that you select is Personal User. (See the section, Creating an Image for
Persona
l Users on page 8 for informatio
n about how to create this image on the network.)
From the image you have created for Personal Users, you will find a folder structure as
follows:
The Disk* folders contain the contents of each disk that you will need to create using your
favorite CD burning software. The contents of each Disk folder should be burned to CD, but
not the actual Disk folder itself. Depending upon the software you selected when creating
your network image, some of the Disk folders may not be present in your image.
The CDLabel.txt file contains descriptions of the CDs represented by each Disk, so you can
label them appropriately as you burn them. It is recommended that you print a copy of this
file for your reference.
Using Maintenance Mode Features
If your organization already has a Server installation of SAS software in place, Maintenance
Mode allows you to update the SAS Installation Data file on the server image. This process is
an efficient way to make updated an SAS Installation Data file available to a large number of
users. For complete instructions, please see “Using Maintenance Mode to Update SAS
Instal
lation Data on the Server Image” on page 65.
