Install ERI's Platform Library from DVD

Please note: ERI's Platform Library® is automatically installed when any Assessor Series® application is installed or updated from the Platform Library DVD. This is due to the fact that many features found in the Assessor Series applications require access to additional data that is part of the Platform Library.

Due to the number of files in the Platform Library, only those files that need to be updated will be installed in order to save time. However, the procedure below will install/overwrite all files, regardless of whether or not the latest files are present.

ERI's Platform Library include many features that require an Internet browser. Errors may result if you do not have Microsoft's Internet Explorer (I.E.) version 5.0 or later. To download and install the latest version of I.E., please visit www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm.

If your organization/employer has given you limited administrative rights for software installations, you may not be able to download an executable file (*.exe) from a DVD or the Internet. Talk to your MIS or IT department about getting administrative access to download files.
