Problem Note 17817: When you perform a SAS Planned Install, create a SAS Software Depot
before you begin your installation
SAS highly recommends creating a SAS Software Depot (SSD) before you
begin a SAS planned installation. Doing so allows the installation to
flow easier and decreases the amount of time spent on the install.
To create an SSD, perform the following:
- Insert the SAS Software Navigator CD found in the "801 Deployment
Tools Media" section.
- Select a language for the SAS Software Navigator (for example,
English), and click OK.
- Choose "Create a SAS Software Depot", and click Next.
- Specify a target location for the SSD (for example, F:\SAS913SP4),
and click Next.
- Add software to the SSD by Specifying a source location (for
example, D:\), and click Add.
- Click Finish when you are finished adding software to the SAS
Software Depot.
In some cases, if you do not install from a SSD, extra screens appear
that are confusing and potentially lead to installation failure.
Some installation failures from CDs and DVDs have been reported. For
example, Enterprise Guide might show a check mark next to it,
indicating installation completion, when in fact it has not completed.
The following products have been converted to use InstallShield 11, the
source of the installation failures:
- SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office 2.1
- Enterprise Guide 4.1
- Web OLAP Viewer for .NET 1.3
- Strategic Enterprise Solutions Office Integration 1.2
This issue will be corrected in a future release of SAS.
