If you have a planned-installation package and you intend to install SAS Foundation 9.3 (TS1M0) and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3 for local use only, be aware that there is no sample plan file for performing this installation. To install SAS Foundation 9.3 (TS1M0) and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3, use one of the following methods:

• Use the Install SAS Foundation and Related Software Button
• Use the Install Additional Software Button

Notes: These two installation methods are appropriate only if you want to install SAS Enterprise Guide on your local machine so that you can use the graphical user interface (GUI).

Use the Install SAS Foundation and Related Software Button

1. Before you begin installing the SAS software, ensure that there are no antivirus or firewall services running on the machine. Check Windows Services by doing the following:

   Select Start ► Run and type services.msc. For Windows 7, type services.msc in the Search programs and files search box.

   Look for any antivirus software that is in a started state. Stop the services by clicking Stop in the upper left corner.

   Some of the antivirus software programs that you might see under the Services window include but are not limited to Norton, Symantec, McAfee, Trend, Microsoft, VIPRE, Kaspersky, and AVG.

   Here is an example of what you might see in the Services window. Note that there is usually one antivirus service that you are unable to stop. That is fine. The problem is if you cannot stop any of the services. In that case, contact your IT department to stop these for you while you are performing the installation. Alternatively, have an Administrator log on and do the installation for you.

   

   
   
2. Start Windows Explorer. In the left navigation bar (see screen capture, below), select the DVD drive and locate the setup.exe file at the root. If you are on a Windows 7, Windows 2008, or Windows Vista operating system, right-click the setup.exe file and select Run as administrator. If you are on any other system, double-click setup.exe.
