POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. This hot fix contains updates to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.305 for the languages in the table below. These updates will be installed in !SASHOME\EnterpriseGuide\4.3\<lang> where <lang> is the code used to represent a specific language.

   To free up disk space, you may choose to delete the <lang> folders for language(s) which you did not select during the original SAS Enterprise Guide 4.305 installation.

   Language	Language code
   German	de
   Spanish	es
   French	fr
   Hebrew	he
   Hungarian	hu
   Italian	it
   Japanese	ja
   Korean	ko
   Polish	pl
   Russian	ru
   Swedish	sv
   Turkish	tr

2. Additional steps may be required to fully address the problem documented in SAS Note 45250 DBCS functions are not listed on "New Computed Column" Window

   If you have previously created a computed column using advanced expressions, the file sasexpfunc.xml in the Application Data folder must be deleted, for example

   Windows XP:
   C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\SAS\SharedSettings\4.3\Expressions\<language>\sasexpfunc.xml
   
   Windows Vista, Windows 7:
   C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SAS\SharedSettings\4.3\Expressions\<language>\sasexpfunc.xml

   This file must be deleted after applying the hot fix and before attempting to use the advanced expression control again.

   If advanced expressions have never been used to create a computed column, sasexpfunc.xml will not exist in the Application Data folder and applying the hot fix will be sufficient to address this problem.

This completes the installation of hot fix C44026 on Windows.
