Essbase Studio Installation Order
Author: Eric Russo | | October 3, 2014
I recently set up a client machine for a… client and found some odd behavior that was resolved with a simple change of installation order. I decided to use the standalone installers to the greatest extent possible.
I was installing these components for 11.1.2.1 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit):
- Hyperion Financial Reporting
- Smart View
- Spreadsheet Add-in
- Essbase Studio
- EAS
Turns out that the HFR standalone installer requires a preceding Foundation installation. BUT, if you run the Essbase Studio installer after you run Foundation and HFR, Studio fails to start.
When this happened to me, I had two options:
- Delve into the innards of installation documentation and OTN lore; or,
- Just try installing Essbase Studio first (the quick and the dirty).
If you’re on the clock, 2 is always preferable. Luckily, it worked. So this is the installation order I went with:
- Essbase Studio
- EAS
- Foundation
- HFR
- Smart View
- Spreadsheet Add-in
It was quick and painless and resulted in a working client machine in under an hour once I knew how and when to run everything.
