Python Requirement for Geoprocessing
Several ArcGIS geoprocessing tools, such as Multiple Ring Buffer, use the Python scripting language and require that Python is installed. If the ArcGIS Desktop, Engine or Server setups do not find Python 2.5.1 on the target computer, it will install Python 2.5.1 plus Numerical Python 1.0.3 during a typical or complete installation. You may choose a Custom installation to unselect the Python feature to avoid installing this feature. See the install guide for additional information concerning Python.
Additional Dependencies
Business Analyst requires that you have .NET support, the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension (both can be installed during your ArcGIS installation) and Crystal Reports XI installed. Please see the Business Analyst install guide for more detailed information regarding these dependencies.
