Usage Note 13752: Deploying SAS 9.1.3 service pack silently for personal install

DetailsAboutRate It
This procedure can only be performed when you update an existing SAS
9.1.3 installation.

Service packs can be installed silently without the need of recording a
quietfile or silent response file. Service packs can also be installed
silently from either service pack media or from a personal server.

To install the service pack silently from the service pack media, run
the setup.exe from the sas folder on the service pack for SAS Foundation
disk with the following command-line options:

   sas\setup.exe /s /f2<location of the silent setup log>

Here is an example, where d: is the CD-ROM drive letter:

   d:\sas\setup.exe /s /f2"c:\temp\splog.txt"

The silent setup log indicates the success of the install.

To install the service pack silently from a personal server, run
sas\setup.exe from disk701 and use the same syntax as described above.
Here is an example, where m: is a mapped drive:

   "m:\sas server\9.1\disk701\sas\setup.exe" /s /f2"c:\temp\splog.txt"

Note: *Not* having a space between 2 and " in these examples is correct.
