Installation Note 33681: Creating custom or add-on installations for SAS® Foundation products in the SAS® 9.2 licensed product set using a SAS Software Depot for client users
When you install SAS 9.2, the SAS® Deployment Wizard displays SAS Foundation
in the list of available products to install. If you select SAS Foundation, you must install all SAS Foundation products for which you have licenses; you cannot install
a subset of those products.
See SAS Note 15827, "Examples of SAS products in 'Foundation Only' Service Packs," for a list of SAS Foundation products.
If you do not need to install all the SAS Foundation products, you can create a SAS Software Depot for client users.
When you create a depot for client users, you can
create a custom set of SAS 9.2 Foundation solutions or add-on products to place in the depot.
The
SAS® Deployment Wizard User's Guide provides instructions for creating a
SAS Software Depot for client users.
Note: You can create SAS Software Depots for client users only with basic orders. If you have a planning order, you will not be able to create a depot for clients and will need to contact SAS Technical Support for assistance.
To create a custom set of your licensed products to install via a SAS Software Depot for client users:
- In your SAS Software Depot, start setup.exe.
- When the Select Deployment Task dialog box
appears, select Create a new SAS Software Depot, and click Next.
- When the Select SAS Software Order dialog box appears, select the SAS software order for which you want to create the depot, and click Next.
- When the Select SAS Software Depot Option dialog box appears,
select Client Users.

This option enables you to start the process of selecting products to install.
- Specify your SAS installation data file, and click Next.
- Enter a new folder name for your custom SAS Software Depot.
- If you are prompted to create the folder, click Yes, and then click Next.
- Inspect the Final Review screen, and click Start.
- When the SAS Administrator Wizard appears, click Next.
- Select the languages desired, and click Next.
- When the Select Components dialog box appears, select or clear the applicable product sets,
and then click Next.
- After the client image is created, you can install the products on your machine.
Note: For additional information about creating custom installations, see SAS Note
31330, "Creating custom or add-on installations for SAS® Foundation products in the SAS® 9.2 licensed product set via personal depot."
The ability to install a subset of SAS Foundation products without having to create a separate software depot is planned for a future release of SAS.
