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:

1. In your SAS Software Depot, start setup.exe.
2. When the Select Deployment Task dialog box appears, select Create a new SAS Software Depot, and click Next.
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. Specify your SAS installation data file, and click Next.
6. Enter a new folder name for your custom SAS Software Depot.
7. If you are prompted to create the folder, click Yes, and then click Next.
8. Inspect the Final Review screen, and click Start.
9. When the SAS Administrator Wizard appears, click Next.
10. Select the languages desired, and click Next.
11. When the Select Components dialog box appears, select or clear the applicable product sets, and then click Next.



12. 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.
