New installation program

Starting with the Planning Analytics Local 2.1.8 release, the Planning Analytics Data Tier installation program switches from InstallStream to InstallAnywhere.

InstallAnywhere will be familiar if you have installed a recent version of Planning Analytics Spreadsheet Services. InstallAnywhere is smaller and faster than the previous install program. The installation file is less than 1 GB and installation takes less than 5 minutes.

The new installation program, prerequisites, and upgrade considerations are described in Installing the Data Tier for Planning Analytics.
