2. Insert the SAS 8.2 CD-ROM labeled "Setup Disk" into the source drive. The SAS AutoPlay should appear if AutoPlay is enabled on your computer. If this does not happen, select the Run menu option from the Start menu and type:
source_drive:\SETUP
where source_drive is the drive containing the SAS System installation media.

When installing Base SAS software, 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.
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.
