This topic describes how to install the Windows version of Demographics Library.

Install the product

  1. Download the Demographics Library installation .zip for your platform and extract the files.
  2. In the root folder where you extracted the files, locate setup.exe. Right-click on setup.exe and select "Run as administrator".
  3. The Demographics Library install wizard launches and will guide you through the installation process.

Install the Data Files

For faster processing, copy all the data files you will be using to a local directory. These files include Census2k.dld and Census10.dld. Copying the data files to your hard drive allows for quicker processing, but requires considerable disk space.

For descriptions of the data files you may need to complete the desired processing, view the information included with the data download.

Note: To assign Claritas demographics you must have a license. Contact customer support representative for details.

Once you have copied all of the data files to your local hard drive, add the data files path to Demographics Library's Search Path.
