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 installation including 9.1.3 (not EAS version).
Updating your SAS 8.x Installation
If you already have SAS 8.x on your PC, then if your system meets the system requirements, 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 SAS 9.1 Installation
There can be only one SAS 9.1 release (SAS 9.1, SAS 9.1.2 or SAS 9.1.3) installed on a PC. If an installation of an earlier version of SAS 9.1 is already on your machine, then these are NOT the correct instructions for your situation. You should upgrade to version 9.1.3 EAS. In order to do so, you will need to remove the existing version of SAS 9.1 and use the media marked 9.1.3 EAS to reinstall SAS.
