Using the SAS Administrator Wizard to Retrieve SAS Installation
Data
If your organization has not had a SAS software license before, or if you are about to install a
new piece of SAS software, your SAS Installation Data file will be applied when you run the
SAS Administrator Wizard.
The SAS Administrator Wizard is a tool that helps administrators perform the tasks that are
required when SAS is deployed throughout an organization. You can retrieve your SAS
Installation Data from a file if you previously saved the data (received via e-mail) to disk, or it
was provided with your installation media.
Starting the SAS Administrator Wizard
There are several ways to start the SAS Administrator Wizard. Here are three of them:
1. From AutoPlay on the SAS Setup Disk, choose Create a SAS Image for Deployment.
2. From the SAS Software Navigator, choose Create a SAS Image for Deployment.
3. From the SAW directory, run setup.exe
