3.1 Overview of Analysis Center Installation

The Analysis Center setup program allows you to install the Analysis Center components on 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) platforms. The x64 setup option installs all components on 64-bit computers, but installs the Console as a32-bit application. For more information about which components are supported in 64-bit environments, see Section 2.5, System Requirements.

You can install these components individually or in any combination. If you are going to install the Analysis Center components on separate computers, install the components in this order:

  1. Data Warehouse

  2. Web Service

  3. Data Extension

  4. Console

If you are upgrading Analysis Center, see Section 4.0, Upgrading to Analysis Center 2.9. If you are migrating data to a new system, see Section 5.0, Migrating Analysis Center Data.

For information about modifying your Analysis Center installation, see Section 3.4, Modifying an Installation.
