Looks like I have at least found a workaround on my own. It does not solve the base problem, that the software is not selectable while creating a subset, but I got a working installation: 1. Created a Subset with all required components, except for the missing ones. 2. Copied the miti* folders from the original sources "products" folder, into the one of the subset. 3. Checked the XMLs in the "media_data" folder and replaced the lines with my affected products with the line how they are in the original sources like: Old Line: <product alt_sku="mitibridges__94160__prt__xx__sp0__1" format="standard" /> New Line: <product alt_sku="mitibridges__94160__prt__xx__sp0__1" format="standard" skupkg_path="products/mitibridges__94160__prt__xx__sp0__1" />   Had to do this in 3 XML files. 4. Ensured by the "skureq.xml" file in the order_data folder, that all requirements for my components are present (luckily they were).   Done... now the sources are down to ~9 GB and the installation works like a charm.   ...

Good day, I'm currently working on the software deployment for a customer, that wants the SAS Software deployed to client computers (9.4). For myselfe I'm completely new with the SAS installer. The customer provided us a copy of the depot as well as response file with the components that should be installed. Basically the installation works like that, the only issue we have is, that the depot is very huge with almost 30 GB, which makes it hard to handle with our software deployment system. Since the actual installation with the response file is a lot smaller I've read the documentations and came across the option to subset the depot, which looks like exaktly what we need to keep the installation sources small to only include the requried sources needed for the installation. Unfortunatly, what drives me kind of crazy is, that when I'd like to subset the depot, I'm missing 3 components listed in the response file. - SAS Metadata Bridges (mitibridges) - SAS Metadata Bridges Plugin for SAS Data Integration Studio (mitidiplug) - SAS Metadata Bridges Plugin for SAS Management Console (mitismc)   When selecting "subset content orders", platform / operating system and language are clear. I select Windows and the languages I'd like to have included. My issue is in the "by products" part, where I can select between "SAS Foundation products", "Client products" and "SAS foundation and client products". In the next steps where I can select the products, none of the listed above appear in my list to select (no matter what I previously select)   What I checked so far: - I've created a txt file with: setup.exe -listdepot. I can see the Metadata Bridges there with a + sign (which should mean that its within the order) - I can see the files within the product_data and products folder - If I select "Install SAS Foundation and Related Software" within the Setup (which would install the software on the computer *now*), I could select the Metadata Bridges - If I do a full subset of either above mentioned option (Client Products, SAS Founddation products etc.) with all products "checked" the Metadata Bridge products are missing in the new depot - Ran the Depotchecker (no issues)   Any help would be appreciated on how I could do a proper subset. Thank you ... View more
