SPSS 15 on Windows 7

[Justin Meyer-3]

I didn’t find a lot of information online about running SPSS 15 on Windows 7 so I thought it might be helpful to post what worked for me. Initially I installed SPSS 15 and I was not able to authorize it. I then installed the patch (I think 15.01) and the Vista hotfix and I was then able to run the license authorization wizard. I also set the compatibility mode to Windows XP service pack 2 and selected “run this program as administrator” (right click SPSS 15, click properties, click compatibility).

 

So far, everything that I’ve tried is working except I can’t just click a file to open it (“There was a problem sending the command to the program”). Instead, I have to run SPSS first and open the file from there. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am moving from WinXP Pro 32bit to Win7 Pro 64bit with SPSS 15.  I have set up virtual XP mode on the Win7 machine.  I have the VistaHotFix patch and the 15.0.1 and 15.0.1.1 updates.

Should I install on the native Win7 or the virtual XP mode?

Your experience would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 

We're (temporarily) running Spss v14.0.0.2 alongside Spss v20.0.0.1 on Windows 7, in native Win 7 mode AFAIK.

 

Regards,
Albert-Jan

I would recommend the virtual XP mode. However, I am not sure if it
works then. Some of my colleagues and me had serious problems with Win7
and SPSS 15. At the end I upgraded to SPSS 19 which works fine under
Win7.
Best wishes,
Heino
