When installing SAS/IML Studio on 9.4 TS1M7 I get an issue since last IML Studio version is for 9.4 TS1M6.
The deployment wizard detects newer files in SAS home, lists them and an OK brings me back to the Specify SAS Home window with location path greyed out. Is there an easy way around this?
As per the snap in the document attached SAS deployment wizard has detected few components in current sashome to be of latest version to what is available in the software depot you are using to install. That is the reason it gives an warning. Please advise if the software depot you are using is of recent download? If not, you will have to download the latest one.
You can generate deployment registry to get the version currently installed to compare it with the version in the software depot.
If the version of any components in software depot is lower than that of currently installed you will have to request for a latest software depot.
The main software depot is the latest (TS1M7). I am trying to add SAS/IML studio and the last version there is TS1M6. In the download page it is stated in red that: NOTE: This release of SAS/IML Studio only works with SAS 9.4 (TS1M6) or a later release. My software is of a later release and the deployment wizard dislikes that.
I am not sure if I got it right, but your main software was installed using depot of version 9.4 M7 and you are adding SAS/IML using a depot of version 9.4 M6? If that's the case it won't work. You will need to have a depot of same release and usually when any components are added or removed, it has to be done on the same order and the software depot has to be downloaded again to reflect the correct products.
