Introduction to the SAS Enterprise Miner Single-User Installation

Previous Versions of SAS Enterprise Miner

The procedures described in this document will install and initially configure SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1. If you have an earlier copy of SAS Enterprise Miner on your machine, these procedures will not affect your existing installation. However, you will be able to run only one version of SAS at a time.

Note: The migration tools do not fully support the migration of single-user deployments, but you can follow steps to use SAS Enterprise Miner 5.2 and 5.3 projects in SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1. For more information, see the SAS Enterprise Miner: Migration Guide, available at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/miner/index.html. [cautionend]

In particular, you must stop and set to manual the currently installed SAS services on the machine on which you are installing SAS Enterprise Miner. In the Windows Services snap-in, stop each SAS service and set the service to manual. (The Services snap-in is accessible from Windows Start menu in the Control Panel Administrative Tools Services Action Properties). In this way, the port used by each SAS service will be freed for the newer version and the earlier service won't start automatically each time you reboot your machine.
