Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 23
In addition, certain windows in SAS Setup are skipped during an update, since Setup expects
that an update will use the established locations for data and temporary files.
SAS Administrator Wizard Updates SAS 9.1.3
In the case of a server installation, there are four installation paths that can be followed as
you use the SAS Administrator Wizard:
1. New Personal Server
2. New Client Server
3. Update Personal Server
4. Update Client Server
Depending on the update path you choose and your previous server installation(s), your
current SAS 9.1 and 9.1.2 software can be updated to SAS 9.1.3, or these previous SAS
installations can be maintained.
When the SAS Administrator Wizard asks for directory locations for an update installation,
you must select the locations that were used in the prior installation.
If you create a new personal server image and you plan to perform update deployments from
that server, make sure that all products currently used will be updated. The updated server
must contain a product set that matches the personal image on the respective systems that
will be used to run the server installation.
Quiet Update Requirements
For quiet updates to be successful, you must update the server image that was used originally
for recording quiet installations.
In addition, you will need to record a new quiet.ini file. Due to upgrade considerations,
recording a quiet.ini file on a system that already has SAS 9.1 or SAS 9.1.2 installed is not
recommended, as this may limit the product selection process.
For more information on quiet installations, please see “Using SAS Setup in Quiet Mode” on
page 44.
