About the Installation Process
You install software updates by using the SAS Deployment Wizard. If any product
updates are required, then the SAS Deployment Wizard goes into Update mode and
installs those product updates on that machine. Updates that are installed apply only to
the software that is already installed at your site. No new software is installed during this
process. If you have a planned deployment and your SAS Home directory contains one
or more configuration directories, then after installation and deployment is complete, the
SAS Deployment Manager opens so you can configure your environment.
If a machine does not require any product upgrades, then the SAS Deployment Wizard
does not go into Update mode, and the installation of the software update is complete
for that machine. Simply click Cancel to exit the SAS Deployment Wizard.
