Common Problems:

If you receive the following error messages when attempting to run SPSS or Amos after your installation:

Windows XP - This application has failed to start, because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstall of the application may fix this problem.

Windows 7 - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable to fix the problem. View the IBM SPSS 19 Technote for instructions on how to do this.

We strongly encourage users to download software through an Ethernet connection rather than over wireless. You will receive better throughput and a faster download speed.
