PSAP Verification Phase; TSAP Verification Phase; SDRP Verification Phase; Redistricting Data Program Verification Phase

WARNING

(03/13/2008)

Installing the MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS) and the accompanying data will delete any previous MTPS data installations and any work you have already completed, regardless of Census program (BAS, LUCA, SDRP, RDP, etc.).

To avoid this, it is recommended that the installation of these materials be done on separate computers or the data should be installed into different folders.

To install the data into different folders:

a.) Before beginning the installation, navigate to the C:\MTPSData folder.

b.) Rename the folder using the program initials so you can easily identify it later. (e.g. C:\MTPSData_LUCA or C:\MTPSData_SDRP)

c.) Proceed with the installation. When the installation is complete you will again have a folder titled C:\MTPSData but it will now contain your redistricting data.

d.) If you need to switch back to one of these other programs, first rename the C:\MTPSData folder to C:\MTPSData_RDP or another memorable name)

e.) Rename the program’s folder that you want to use to C:\MTPSData.

f.) Now, launching the software will open that dataset.
