The installation process copies the necessary files to your machine so you can work with the Business Analyst 10.8.2 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 or area datasets to the same machine, such as Business Analyst Canadian Edition.
Note:
Upgrading to 10.8.2? For more information, see Existing Business Analyst users.
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.

Installing Business Analyst 64-bit Background GP
The installation of the Business Analyst Background Geoprocessing (64-bit) product replaces the regular 32-bit background processing which comes standard with Business Analyst. Using 64-bit processing to perform analysis on systems with large amounts of RAM may help when processing large data which may have otherwise failed in a 32-bit environment. Since all execution is done in the native 64-bit space, more system resources can be used.
Tools that execute in the background honor your current license. For example, if you are licensed for Business Analyst Standard, then background execution will honor all tools that are licensed for Desktop Standard. Background processing does not consume a second license; only one license per machine is used.
To install Business Analyst 64-bit Background GP you will perform the following steps.
- On the My Esri site, browse to My Organizations > Downloads.
- Click View Downloads for Business Analyst 10.8.2, and click View Downloads under the Actions column.
- Click Download to the right of Business Analyst Background Geoprocessing (64-bit).
