Log on to the computer on which you want to install Analysis Center using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group. Close all open applications and run the setup program from the Analysis Center installation kit. If you double-click setup.exe, the product installation preview page opens in your browser.
If you want to install an Analysis Center component on the computer containing the installation kit, you can start the installer by selecting the Production Setup tab and then clicking Install NetIQ Analysis Center (x86) or Install NetIQ Analysis Center (x64).
If you install Analysis Center components on multiple computers, copy the installation kit to a server at your site that the Analysis Center computer can access. You can then start the installation kit at each Analysis Center computer from the shared server. For example, from \\SWInstaller\ACInstall\setup.exe.
NOTE:Before running the Analysis Center setup program, close SQL Server Management Studio.
