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.
