    System Requirements

  • Operating Systems Windows 2000
    Windows NT, Version 4.0 updated with Service Pack 4 or higher
    Windows 98 updated with Service Pack 1 or to Windows 98, Second Edition
    Windows 95 updated with additional Year 200 software updates as provided by Microsoft

  • Machines Supported
    Intel or Intel-compatible Pentium class processor (minimum required).

  • Floating Point Unit or Math Coprocessor
    A floating point unit or math coprocessor is assumed present in the PC and the SAS System is optimized for its presence.  Microsoft Windows provides floating point emulation software with decreased performance in the absence of a floating point unit or math coprocessor.

  • Memory Requirements
    32MB minimum, more for improved performance.  For Base SAS software, 32 MB of swapfile space is required.  For other components, particularly SAS/EIS, 96 or more MB of swapfile space is required.

    WINDOWS NT Server: 64 MB minimum and 64 MB minimum of swapfile space

  • File System Recommendations
    The use of file systems supporting long filenames is recommended For Windows NT, NTFS is recommended

  • Network Installations
    Long filenames support is recommended on any Windows NT server or Novell server where a server installation is performed

  • Online Help Browser
    To view the online help within the SAS System, either Internet Explorer, Version 5 or Netscape Navigator, version 4.07 is required.  Later versions of either of these Web browsers should also be usable.

    SAS System Installation Process

    Make sure all other Windows applications are closed!!

    Insert the SAS 8.1 CD-ROM labeled "Disk 1" into the source drive. If the AutoPlay feature is enabled, the Installation Wizard will start.

    If it does not start automatically, click Start on the Task Bar and then Run. Enter

    [source drive]:\SETUP

    Click on SAS System Setup and follow the installation instructions on the screen.

    NOTE: If during the installation process, you get a message directing you to you to install a Windows Service Pack, you will have to update your Windows version by linking to Microsoft at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and follow the download instructions.

    Types of Installation Configurations

  • Complete Personal Installation
  • Custom Personal Installation
  • Client Installation
  • Complete File Server Installation
  • Custom File Server Installation

        Performing a Complete Personal Installation

    Select this option if you want to install all of the components on the SAS System CD, but do not need the Help files, Sample files, or Test programs.  This option is not recommended for single users because by default almost all of the SAS modules available are installed.

        Performing a Custom Personal Installation ** (Recommended for single users)**

    When the Custom Installation component listbox is displayed, select only the components that you want to install.  The Core and Base modules are required and for statistical analysis select the STAT module.

    For instructions of the other three types of installations available (Client Installation, Complete File Server Installation and Custom File Server Installation) refer to the Installation Instructions section of the SAS CD-ROM .


    !!!VERY IMPORTANT!!!

    Toward the end of the installation the following sets of messages will appear: Setup is ready to update your licensing information. Update license (setinit) information? [recommended] Select NO. There appears to be a problem with your setinit.sas file! Would you like to correct the file now? Select NO. Licensing process has been terminated by the user. Select OK.
    Proceed with the additional installations options.


    Updating the SAS System

    To update the SAS System (changing the expiration date), refer Updating SAS License Information - SAS 8.1

    Additional Installation Options

    If the SAS Setup program determines that additional installation options are available, windows for the additional installation options will be displayed.   After all of the SAS System files have been copied, each of these installation options will launch another setup program.  Once these external setup programs are finished, you will be returned to SAS System Setup.

  • Installing the SAS Viewer
    When installing Base SAS software on Windows 95, Setup will prompt you to install the SAS System Viewer. The application lets you view the contents of SAS data set and catalog files without using the SAS System or requiring the SAS System to be installed on your machine. You are free to distribute this program to allow other people to view your SAS data.

  • Installing 16 bit and 32 bit ODBC Drivers
    The SAS ODBC Driver allows you to access, update, and manipulate SAS data from your favorite ODBC-compliant applications, such as Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic, and PowerBuilder.  The SAS ODBC Driver provides read access to databases such as IBM DB2 and ORACLE via SAS/ACCESS software running on remote SAS servers.  Further, SAS views can be defined to join database tables from different vendors, creating a virtual data warehouse for your ODBC-enabled applications.

    You should install either the 16 or 32 bit version of the SAS ODBC Driver depending on the version of Windows you are running, and whether your ODBC applications are 16 or 32 bit.

    On Windows 95 you can install both the 16 and 32 bit drivers depending on your application needs. 16 bit applications can use both 16 and 32 bit drivers and hence can see data sources defined by each type of driver.  32 bit applications can only use 32 bit drivers and therefore can only see data sources defined to the 32 bit drivers.  This occurs because Windows 95 allows thunking (16 to 32 bit translation) from 16 to 32 bit applications but not from 32 to 16 bit applications.  The ODBC Driver Manager handles all thunking issues.
