Summary
This technical article provides instructions for installing Business Analyst Desktop data to a drive other than the C: drive.
In this scenario, the base Business Analyst Desktop software is installed to the C: drive, while the Business Analyst Data update is installed on the D: drive.
Procedure
Before installing the data, verify that the destination drive has approximately 40 GB of space free.
The following instructions assume that the following programs have already been installed:
- ArcGIS for Desktop
- ArcGIS for Desktop Background Geoprocessing (64-bit)
- Esri Business Analyst for Desktop
- Esri Business Analyst for Desktop Background Geoprocessing (64-bit)
- Download the three Business Analyst 2015 data files from My Esri:
- Esri Business Analyst 2015 Data
(ESRI_BA_2015_US_DATA_Update.7z.001) - Esri Business Analyst 2015 Data
(ESRI_BA_2015_US_DATA_Update.7z.002) - Esri Business Analyst 2015 Data
(ESRI_BA_2015_US_DATA_Update.7z.003)
- Once downloaded, right-click ESRI_BA_2015_US_DATA_Update.7z.001 and use a file extractor, such as 7-Zip, to extract the data from the folder (select Extract Here if 7-Zip is already installed). The process to extract these files takes approximately 15 minutes. This process automatically extracts and reassembles all three data files to create a full 2015 Data Update Setup.
Note:
Do not attempt to extract files 002 or 003.
- Run setup.exe. Once finished, there is a subfolder named ESRI_BA_2015_US_DATA_UPDATE which contains another setup.exe file.
- Open the newly-created ESRI_BA_2015_US_DATA_UPDATE folder and double-click setup.exe. When prompted to select either a Typical Data Install or a Custom Install, select the Custom Install option.
- Click on Change... and set where the data is to be installed. If the ZIP4 Geocoding Data is selected, this requires an additional 640 MB of hard drive space.
- At the completion of the process, the installation prompts to activate a data license. This must be done on the same machine where Business Analyst Desktop is installed. Path out to and open this file.
- Open Business Analyst 2015 from Start > All Programs > ArcGIS > Business Analyst.
- Once open, click the Business Analyst toolbar > Preferences. On the Dataset tab, ensure all data paths are correct.
