Installing SAS 9.1.3 EAS on Windows XP
Administrator privilege: Requiring that the installer have administrator privilege ensures that SAS 9.1 Foundation can be completely and safely installed.
NOTE: All programs, including virus-scanning
programs, should be closed before beginning the installation. Make sure that the date and time are correct
on your PC. Many software packages
interpret a clock change as an attempt to circumvent the licensing
process. Changing the system clock may
disable SAS and cause additional problems.

9.1.3 EAS and download the SID file from the ITC Software Licensing database at
http://www.web.virginia.edu/rescomp.
Take care to license the correct version of the software.
These installation instructions are intended for users at UVA who are installing SAS on a Windows PC on which no other versions of SAS are present. You may also use these instructions to update a SAS 8.x installation, but NOT a SAS 9.1 or 9.1.3 installation. In order to update a SAS 9.1 or 9.1.3 (not EAS) installation, you should first remove that installation using the Windows Control Panel, then drag the SAS folders contained in the Program Files folder to the trash. Reboot your system before installing 9.1.3 EAS, and follow the instructions.
Updating Your Existing SAS 8.x Installation
If you have SAS 8.x on your PC, then you can choose to either
-- Remove SAS 8.x then install SAS 9.1.3 EAS, or
-- You may install SAS 9.1.3 EAS on the same system as 8.x.
In either case you will follow the instructions below for a New Installation.
Updating Your Existing SAS 9.1 or 9.1.3 Installation
There can be only one SAS 9.1 release (SAS 9.1, SAS 9.1.3 or SAS 9.1.3 EAS) installed on a PC. If an installation of an earlier version of SAS 9.1 is already on your machine, then you should first remove it following the steps outlined above.

before proceeding Click on Next.
Step 5. If no system updates are needed, you may click on Finish to proceed with installation. Otherwise, follow the dialog instructions for updating your installation.

NOTE: The setup will take a fairly long time. Do not attempt to run programs while the installation is in process. The setup program may prompt you to associate certain file extension types with the SAS program. Unless you are certain that an extension must be associated with a different program, this is most often a safe selection.
Step 17. You will be prompted for The Setup Disk during the post-installation process. Select Browse and browse to the top level of your DVD. For example if your DVD is in drive D, you will browse to My Disc (D). More specifically, if you are prompted to insert a CD such as D:\disk901, then you should edit the box to read D:\ and proceed.
