  • C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASITResourceManagementSASEnterpriseGuideComponents\3.5
  • C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASITResourceManagementReportDefinitionTaskfor EnterpriseGuide\3.5.
The files are then copied to the locations that are listed as follows where they are used by the product.

  • EG projects 
EGRoot = C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASEnterpriseGuide\7.1
