$> chmod 755 G17003la.bin
2. Set your $DISPLAY environment variable

3. Execute G17003la.bin
<path_to_downloaded_file>/G17003la.bin
    For example:
./G17003la.bin

This will initiate the installation wizard, which will guide you through the hot fix installation process. During the installation you will be prompted for the SASHOME location to be updated. You should provide the path to the top level SAS directory where the deploymntreg directory exists.
