Installing Esri Business Analyst Desktop

The installation process copies the necessary files to your machine so you can work with the Esri Business Analyst Desktop software. Before installing Business Analyst close all applications on your computer and verify that your computer meets the system requirements.

When installing Business Analyst, the installation is separated into a Software install and a Data install. The individual installs allow flexibility when upgrading versions and data vintages as well as installing different country datasets to the same machine, such as Business Analyst Canadian Edition. The Business Analyst software installs approximately 230 MB of content.

During the Business Analyst Software setup you have the option to set Business Analyst’s feature output directory, called My Output Data. The default location is set to your C: drive, but you can specify any location, such as a shared network location. All output is maintained in a standardized file structure for easy file retrieval and maintenance.
