SPSS 16 Installation Tips

SPSS 16, statistical analysis and data management software, is available to the University community from Information Technologies and with this new version comes some installation tips.

To prepare for installation of SPSS 16 and to prevent possible software conflicts, first uninstall any previous versions of SPSS on your computer. Next, install in order, SPSS 16, the latest patch for SPSS 16 (currently 16.0.2), and the Legacy Viewer (Windows only). The patch, available from UDeploy, fixes performance and usability issues found within SPSS 16. The Legacy Viewer, available from the SPSS install menu, allows you to view and edit files created in previous SPSS versions.

Completing these few extra steps will insure that your installation of SPSS 16 runs smoothly. As always, if you need assistance or have questions, contact oet-help.
