How To Create a Setup.log With SNA 4.0 SP2 Update.exe.
This article was previously published under Q226934
The Update.exe program included with SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) can still support the creation of a Setup.log file, but it requires different command line switches than previous SNA Server service packs. To generate a Setup.log file, Update must be invoked with the following command line option:
[install path:\I386\]update /SETUPPARMS:"/G setup.log"
Where Setup.log will be written to the directory where the TMP environment variable is pointing. The Update program doesn't allow a full path to be specified for the Setup.log file.
The following batch script can be used to automate the installation of the service pack without requiring user intervention. This script modifies the TMP environment variable to point to the desired location where Setup.log is created:
net stop snabase /y
SET SAVETMPDIR=%TMP%
SET TMP=C:\INFO
f:\i386\update /SETUPPARMS:"/G setup.log" /quietmode:"yes"
SET TMP=%SAVETMPDIR%
SET SAVETMPDIR=
net stop snabase /y
The script above causes the log file to be written to C:\Info\Setup.log.
Unlike previous SNA Server service packs, the SNA Server 4.0 SP2 Update program spawns the Setup program in the background, and uses the Setup engine to upgrade the system to SNA Server 4.0 SP2. Given the different mode of operation, the Update program command line options and Setup.log formats are different than prior service packs.
