After I installed SPSS 19, I forgot to check and see whether it was working. When launching it this morning, I got the following error message- though in traditional Chinese.
In English, this error message is something like the following: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command line sxstrace.exe for more detail."
Apparently, this is a pretty common problem. So said the experts, the reason why it happened could be that the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables did not execute and install properly during installation of the SPSS. One way to work around this issue is by post-install the package.
Since I had installed the 64bit version, I did a search using the win 9 search function for "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\19\VC8\Vcredist_x64.exe."
Run Vcredist_x64.exe as an administrator by right-clicking on the item
Voila! So the problem got resolved for me, at least. Good luck to you, too! If it still doesn't work for you, please check the link I provide belong for additional troubleshooting tips.

ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with vista 32.
I installed the x86 version that is located where the x64 that you used were:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\19\VC8\Vcredist_x86.exe
