I examined the "date" on some of the files in the installation "disks".  They are 7/1/2014.  Does that give a clue as to which version this is?   ... View more

OK, thanks for this information.  Free?  Why did I pay a lot of money for version 9.4?  But then it says you have to create virtual box.  Why?  Thats a huge complication and I dont want to clutter my device with unnecessary software.  And further, I would imagine that this is going to take too much memory from the other things I am doing on my device.  I need to do some statistical analysis on some really massive data sets, but at the same time since this is my only device I need to use it also for watching videos, email, skyping, working on documents, etc.   ...

I cant figure out how to unzip into the same folder.  I unzipped the first and it created a folder called SAS9B1RLM_ds01.  Then I tried to unzip the second and point it to the previous folder using explorer.  It then created a subfolder within the above folder called SAS9B1RLM_ds02.  This obviously isn't working.     I cannot understand the instructions posted on the website either.  Why cant this company produce something easy enough that unsophisticated users like myself can understand - like Microsoft does.  And further this is a ridiculously enormous set of files.  I am not even sure I have room for it.  Why cant they provide something that runs off the cloud which would be a lot more efficient? ...

Yeah, they first handed me a set of some kind of disks.  I had no idea what to do with those, since I havent heard of anyone using that for years.  So they downloaded this massive zip file onto my device and left me to fend for myself.  I think you're right its some kind of copy of disks.  I unzipped ds01 and there is a setup file.  I tried running it but then what do I do about the other disks?  And it didn't work.  Eventually I got a box that said "SAS Deployment Wizard" at the top and an option "Install SAS Foundation and Related Software".  But the second half of the box was cut off and there is no way to scroll down and continue the process.  So I clicked on the "X" and exited.   ...

I purchased a one year license for SAS 9.4 from my university.  I got an email with a few small license files.  But I have no idea how to get this program installed.  The university gave me a zip file which was ridiculously big and I unzipped it - it took an hour!  After unzipping it I now have a folder with more zip files!  The folder has zip files: SAS_9B1RLM_ds01.zip SAS_9B1RLM_ds02.zip SAS_9B1RLM_ds03.zip SAS_9B1RLM_ds04.zip SAS_9B1RLM_ds05.zip SAS_9B1RLM_ds06.zip SAS_9B1RLM_ds07.zip   and two hidden files called -DS_Store and ..DS_Store What am I supposed to do with all of this?  I just want to install the software and I have not found anyplace with a decent set of installation instructions.  Can someone assist me?  I have no familiarity with this product at all. ...
