Installation Note 33606: Spaces in the SAS Software Depot path might interfere with the installation of SAS® software

DetailsAboutRate It

You might be unable to launch the the SAS® Deployment Wizard from a SAS Software Depot if the path has two or more consecutive spaces.

For example:

   C:\SAS Software     Depot

The SAS Deployment Wizard also fails to launch if you shared a folder with other users on your network and the Share name has spaces in it.

For example:

   Share name: Test Drive

This can happen on both Windows and UNIX platforms.

If you start the install for a DOS/Command Prompt, you might see the following error:

"Access is denied"

If this happens, surround the path with double quotes in order for the installation to continue; or rename the path to remove any extra spaces.

To work around these issues, do not use consecutive spaces in the SAS Software Depot path and use a Share name without spaces.
