To Install SAS V9.1, you should have received CDs from the Computer Showcase Software Sales, or whomever handles your SAS software distribution, along with an email containing a .txt file of the form:
Sas91_XXXXXX.txt
This file contains the licensing information for SAS V9.1. Download this file, and save it on your machine in a directory that you can remember. Do not change the name of this file. Then follow these steps:
1. Insert the Setup Disk in your CD drive, and under "End User Steps". Select "Verify System Requirements". Follow the instructions to update your computer to be used with SAS V9.1.
2. Once this step is completed, your computer may reboot. After rebooting, select "Install SAS 9.1 Foundation". The SAS Install Shield Wizard will appear. Click "Next".
3. In the "Retrieve SAS Installation Data" window, select "File" and click "Next".
4. Use the browse button to find the location of your SAS Installation Data File, and select it. This is the .txt file containing the licensing information that you saved on your computer. The full path and file name of this file should appear in the dialog box. Click "Next".
