SPSSINC Compare Datasets - how to install/activate?

Barry
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to use the compare data sets command.  I'm using SPSS version 20 on Windows XP.  The command is not available in the Data menu.  

Going through this list I found some references from 2009 suggesting that I need to installs some extensions, particularly for Python.  I installed the SPSS_Statistics_PythonEssentials_20002_win32.exe and SPSS_Statistics_NetPlugIn_20001_win32.exe.

Is there some other package which has the actual procedure that I need to install?

Thanks!

Statistics 21 actually has a native COMPARE DATASETS command, but it is new in that release.

SPSSINC COMPARE DATASETS is an extension command that requires the Python Essentials.  Once installed it will appear on the Data menu.  If you don't already have it, you can download it from the SPSS Community site at www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral
Look on the Downloads for SPSS Statistics page for the Extension Commands collection.
To install it, extract the spe file from the download zip and install it using Utilities > Extension Bundles > Install Extension Bundle.
