Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 15
• Client Users: <Source Path>\SAS\SETUP.EXE
• Personal Users: <Source Path>\Disk1\SAS\SETUP.EXE
• CD-ROM Users: <CD Drive>:\SAS\SETUP.EXE
In these examples, Source Path is the network location you specified when using the SAS
Administrator Wizard to create the network image.
The text below does not cover every dialog a user will encounter, but focuses on some of the
more important ones.
Providing the SAS Installation Data
This section applies only to users installing the software locally (either from a network image
you have created or from CD-ROM). Client users will not see the prompts in this section.
The SAS Installation Data file is required for your Personal Users to complete the final
installation of SAS software. Personal Users installing interactively depend upon you to
provide them with the SAS Installation Data file needed to complete the installation.
When you created the network image using the SAS Administrator Wizard, the SAS
Installation Data file you provided (via the saved e-mail attachment) was integrated into the
installation image. In the case of CD-ROM users, the data was integrated into the CD-ROMs
you created. As a result, when your end users run SAS Setup interactively, they will be
prompted with the Existing and File options for retrieving the SAS Installation Data file for
their installation:
SAS Setup will default to the Existing option, since your end users will most often use the
existing SAS Installation Data file that you placed in the network or CD image. The File option
is provided in the event that you have saved your SAS Installation Data file to a separate disk
location, and would like to instruct your users to access the data from that location.
Selecting the Software to Install
Users will be prompted for the software to install only if they are installing the software
locally. In this case, they will have an opportunity to select from the software that you placed
in the network image.
