CASS Installation to a Network

Problem

Extracting and installing files to the same network folder creates conflicts. During the installation and registration process, Alteryx identifies files as being in use and can't continue with the final registration of data. If you get an error during the Prepare a Network Install step, follow the steps in the Required Action section.

Required Action

  1. Make sure you have write permissions to C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\DataProducts\DataSets\CASS

  2. Delete the CASS files initially downloaded and installed.

  3. Re-download and extract the CASS install files to a location with at least 1.2 GB of available space.

  4. Go to the extracted file location and run DataInstall.exe.

  5. Select Prepare a Network Install for the CASS data, and ensure the install directory is different from the extracted files directory.

  6. Select Register from a Network Location to complete the installation.

What’s the typical network install process?

  1. Start with a CASS executable to extract the install files to a temporary location.

  2. Install CASS files to a different directory or network location than where extracted. Make sure you have admin permissions to write to C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\DataProducts\DataSets\CASS since this is where a required Alteryx instruction file is written.

  3. Select Register from a Network Location to complete the installation.
