Apriori worked but now doesn't

[David Short]

Help on how to fix this would be much appreciated. I've previously installed
SPSSINC Apriori Ver. 2.1.1 extension and it shows to be installed, but I get
this message when I now try to run it (it worked last month):

 SPSSINC APRIORI tollfree equip callcard wireless
 /CRITERIA SUPPORT=0.1 CONFIDENCE=0.8 MINLIFT=1.0
/OPTIONS SUMMARY=YES ITEMPLOT=YES.

simpleWarning in Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", getOption("spssLocale")): OS

Warning: Fail to set locale. R will set the current locale to English.

I don't know why you would get that strange locale message.  What OS and locale are you using (use SHOW LOCALE  to see what Statistics is running in)?  However, that message is harmless.  The real error is buried at the  bottom: the R arules package is missing.  Most likely, if you are on Win 7 or similar, that means that when you installed the SPSSINC APRIOI extension bundle, Statistics was  not running with sufficient OS privileges to write that library to the R installation.  To fix this, start Statistics using Run As Administrator and reinstall the extension bundle.  Alternatively, you can start Rgui for the appropriate R version and use its Packages menu to install this module.
