Types of Installation Configurations

• Complete Personal Installation
• Custom Personal Installation

Performing a Complete Personal Installation

Select this option if you want to install all of the components on the SAS System CD, but do not need the Help files, Sample files, or Test programs.  This option is not recommended for single users because by default almost all of the SAS modules available are installed.

Performing a Custom Personal Installation ** (Recommended for single users)**

When the Custom Installation component listbox is displayed, select only the components that you want to install.  The Core and Base modules are required and for statistical analysis select the STAT module.

For instructions of the other three types of installations available (Client Installation, Complete File Server Installation and Custom File Server Installation) refer to the Installation Instructions section of the SAS CD-ROM .

Toward the end of the installation the following sets of messages will 
appear:

	Setup is ready to update your licensing information.

	Select NO.

	There appears to be a problem with your setinit.sas file!  
	Would you like to correct the file now?
