Command
line:
.\disk1\sas\setup.exe -s -f2c:\temp\sas.txt
quietfile=\\srv1\v9image\disk1\sas\quiet1.ini
1) “.” denotes current path. This is used to keep
the overall command line under 126
characters (see note below).
2) “\disk1\sas\setup.exe” specifies path to SAS
setup.exe. Substitute this with the path to
your SAS setup.exe.
3) “-s” option sets the install in silent mode.
4) “-f2” option specifies path to SAS log file.
5) “c:\temp\sas.txt” specifies path to SAS log
file. Replace with path to temp location for
log file (must have write permission to this
location or job will fail).
6) “quietfile=” specifies the path of the SAS
quiet record file previously created in Step 1.
7) “\\srv1\v9image\disk1\sas\quiet1.ini”
specifies path of the quiet record file.
Substitute this with the path to your path to
quiet record file. Must use explicit path.
Start in:
<PATH> Specify UNC path to the SAS image (root
level). User-specific.
Run:
<Run Mode> Specify run mode. User-specific. Default is
“Normal.”
After
running:
<Action> Specify required action after package delivery.
User-specific. Default is “No Action Required.”
Note: There is a 126-character limit on the command line, so it is important to minimize
the depth of your UNC path. Also note that the quietfile cannot use the ‘.’ prefix to
the path and must use the explicit path value. The quietfile variable is independent
of the current path value.
When everything in the General tab has been configured, click on the Environment tab. This
window is configured just like the Environment tab fields on page 51. As with th
e earlier
settings, the Requirements and Advanced tab values of the Program package properties
screens can be left as defaults. The Environment tab is configured the same way as in Step 3
above.
