The method of upgrading from 9.2 to 9.3 varies based on the product set involved. I'm not sure what utility wizard you're referencing (perhaps the SAS Migration Utility?), but you'll find a good deal of generic upgrade information at http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/whatsdiff/63859/PDF/default/whatsdiff.pdf. In general, if you're upgrading desktop users of SAS Foundation products from 9.2 to 9.3, you typically uninstall the former and install the latter. While it is possible to do side-by-side Windows XP installs of SAS, things can get sticky w.r.t. filetype associations (e.g., which SAS you want to come up when you double-click a .sas file). The move from 9.2 to 9.3 is not considered an "in-place" upgrade, meaning if you leave 9.2 around, you need to install 9.3 to its own location. Note that SAS Foundation-only installs (i.e., those not involving a metadata server) do not require the SAS Migration Utility. That utility is used to package up metadata and other configuration and data files stored on servers to be used as input to a subsequent run of the SDW to create a new SAS environment.
