Installation Instructions for SPSS 14.0
If you downloaded SPSS from the VCU software download website, you have downloaded a so-called "image file" onto your PC (also known as an "ISO image file").
This image file contains the various files needed to install the SPSS program. These files have to be extracted from the image file and burned (written) onto a blank CD. This process will create an SPSS installation CD.
To be able to do this:
- The PC where you downloaded the image file must have a CD drive that can burn CDs.
- The PC must have separate software installed (such as Roxio Easy CD Creator) that can extract the files from the image file and burn those files onto the CD.
IMPORTANT: The Windows built-in CD burning capability is not sufficient for this purpose. For example, in Windows you cannot simply right-click on the image file and select "Record to CD". This will only copy the image file to the CD, as is. You must have a CD burning program that can extract the files that are contained within the image file and copy those to the CD.
If your PC does not meet the above requirements, you may use the PCs in the Cabell B-8 and Sanger B3-012 labs.
Download the image file from the VCU software download website and save it on your PC.
Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW into your CD drive.
Double-click on the icon for the downloaded file. This should launch your CD burning software.
If your CD software does not launch: If you double-click and your CD burning software does not launch, you will have to launch it manually. If your CD burner program is Roxio Easy CD Creator, launch this program from the Windows Start menu. Then pull down the File menu and select Record CD from CD Image. If you have a different CD burner program, it should have a similar facility for handling image files.
Follow the directions presented by the CD software for specifying the location of the image file, selecting the recording speed, etc., and for starting the CD burning process. The software will then extract the files from the image file and burn them onto the CD.
After CD burning process has finished, exit the CD software program.
In Windows, display the contents of the CD. You should see SEVERAL files and folders on the CD.
Remove the CD from the CD drive and label it "SPSS 14.0 for Windows."
You now may use this CD for installing SPSS 14, as described in the next section.
(If you have not already done so, you may have to remove the CD from the CD drive and then re-insert it in order to begin the installation process.)
Before beginning the installation, exit/close all Windows applications. In particular, be sure to stop or temporarily disable all virus checking software.
Of course, be sure to re-enable the virus software after the installation. (To disable or to re-enable Norton/Symantec AntiVirus, right-click on its icon in the system tray in the lower right portion of the Windows screen. From the pop-up menu that appears, click Enable File System Realtime Protection so that it is either selected or unselected, as appropriate.)
Insert the SPSS 14.0 for Windows CD-ROM into you computer's CD-ROM drive. After several seconds, the SPSS 14.0 for Windows screen will be displayed:
Note: If it does not appear, click the Windows Start button, click Run, and in the dialog box that appears type the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive followed a colon and the word setup, and then click OK. For example, if your CD-ROM drive letter is D, you would type d:setupand click the OK button. After a brief pause, the installation screen should appear.
Several choices are listed in the above screen. We will discuss below the two choices in which most users will be interested: Installation Instructions and Install SPSS.
Before beginning the actual installation, you may want to read or print additional information about installing SPSS, and other related information. To do so, select the Installation Instructions choice from the SPSS 14.0 for Windows screen.
A list of folders and files will be displayed. Open the
folder entitled:
SPSS
Then open the
file entitled:
Site License Installation Instructions.pdf
Opening this file requires that you have Acrobat Reader 3 or later on your
computer. (If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can easily install it
by selecting Install Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 in the SPSS 14.0 for
Windows screen and following the directions presented. Or, you can obtain it
from this
Acrobat Reader web page.)
To install SPSS, select the Install SPSS choice from the SPSS 14.0 for Windows screen.
After a short pause, during which some intermediate screens will briefly appear, the screen shown below will be displayed. In this screen, select Site License, as shown below:
Click Next.
The License Agreement screen will appear:
In order to continue the installation, you must accept the terms displayed in this screen. Select I accept the terms. and click Next.
The next screen will display information about SPSS 14, as shown below:
Read this information, as desired. (This information is also available on the installation CD in a file named readme.doc.)
Click Next.
On the following screen, type your name and institution for this license (leave the serial number blank):
Click Next.
The next screen will give you the opportunity to change the folder in which SPSS 14.0 will be installed:
If you have earlier versions of SPSS already installed on your PC (SPSS 7.5.2 or later), and you want to leave those earlier versions in place, then you will need to instruct SPSS to install SPSS 14.0 in a different folder. To do this, click the Change button and follow the directions presented to select a folder for SPSS 14.0.
If you have an earlier version of SPSS installed and you want to replace that with SPSS 14.0, you do not need to uninstall the older version. Just install SPSS 14.0 in the same folder as the older version.
After making your desired folder selection (if necessary), click Next to continue.
The next screen will allow you to begin the installation:
Click Install to start the installation
process. This process may take several minutes to complete.
When the installation has completed, the following screen appears:

Then click OK.
The screen for the License Authorization Wizard will appear:
You must use this wizard to license your SPSS software; otherwise, the software will only run for two weeks. Please follow the licensing instructions in the next section below.

In the above screen, select the first choice, Use Authorization via Internet..., and then click Next.
The screen shown below will appear, into which you must type the Authorization Code for this SPSS license. This Authorization Code should have been sent to your VCU e-mail account when you downloaded SPSS 14 or purchased it from Online@VCU. If you purchased your installation media, this Authorization Code can also be found on your CD-ROM case or sleeve.
Be sure to type it exactly as shown in the e-mail message or on the CD-ROM case.
Then click Next.
The final screen for the Authorization Wizard should appear:
Note: If you instead get a screen stating that authorization has failed, then you will have to use the Phone Authorization method described in Section B below. You can also use the E-mail Authorization method, which is not discussed in this document. A few users who installed SPSS at home have reported such problems.
Click Finish.
Installation is now complete.
Exit the InstallShield Wizard screen and the SPSS 14.0 for Windows screen, if they are still open (click Finish or Exit, as appropriate).
