SPSS Error # 835 and # 836

Salbod
Every time I launch SPSS 14.2 Output gets the following message written to
it:



>Error # 835 in column 35.  Text: English

>Undefined error #835 - Cannot open text file
"c:\PROGRA~1\spss14\en\windows\spss.err": No such file or directory

>This command not executed.





>Error # 836 in column 52.  Text: English

>Undefined error #836 - Cannot open text file
"c:\PROGRA~1\spss14\en\windows\spss.err": No such file or directory



Is there any hack I can do to SPSS14 that will correct the problem?



Thank you.

Re: SPSS Error # 835 and # 836

Peck, Jon
This indicates that there is something wrong with your SPSS 14 installation.  What it is saying is that the main error message file is not present where expected.  And error 835, which it is trying to look up in that file, has text

The OLANG subcommand of the SET command cannot set the output language for the given keyword.

That means that the text files that define the output are also not present - or at least it cannot find them.

Look at c:\program files\spss14\en\windows

It should have about 87 files in it with extensions of err or sbb.

You might need to reinstall.

If this doesn't help, you should contact SPSS Technical Support.
