Notes on Installing Files

Files with names ending in .ISO/.IMG (Windows/Mac/UNIX/Linux) or .DMG (Mac)

These are exact images of physical DVD or CD disks. You can re-create the physical disks exactly as shipped by SAS. Windows computers need to use a disk burning program such as Roxio Creator, Nero or similar to re-create DVD or CD disks from images. Linux/UNIX users have a bevy of ISO burning tools like MagicISO, cdrecord etc.

Files with names ending in .zip

These are compressed archives of one or more files. Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008 users can right click on the file and use the extract all function to re-create the folder or file contained in the zip archive. Mac users can double click these to de-compress the archive. Windows users should NOT attempt to install directly from the zip archive, even if you can explore in it, as the install most often will fail.
