@MG18,

Every hotfix has installation instructions. Did you read them?

Hi Alexal ,

I am able to apply hot-fix but the same is not reflecting in the deploymentRegistry.html or deploymentRegistry.txt.

What is way to cross check whether hot-fix is applied successfully or not ? I have applied number of hot-fixes in one time and there was no Error in log file also.

Many Thanks in advance .

@MG18,

The final dialog box of the installation (the Installation Complete dialog box), provides information about the files that were successfully updated during an installation. Installation log files for each hot fix installation are stored in the following location:

/<SASHome>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs/*_hot-fix-name_*.log

The *preexec.log file provides detailed information about the installation process before the install has executed; the *postexec.log file provides detailed information after it has executed. The IT*.log, with a datetime that corresponds to the datetime on the *_hot-fix-name_*.log file, provides detailed information regarding the steps executed during the install process.

Hello @MG18,

in the case you installed some clients as standalone installation, such as SAS EG or the Add-in for Office, you might need to update through msi or use a workaround.

Please read http://support.sas.com/kb/61/648.html

For other clients, java based, as a SAS Management Console, SAS DI, and such, which cannot be installed standalone, you can follow @alexal 's great advise.

Best regards,

Juan
