Problem(Abstract)

I recently purchased SPSS Data Entry for Windows 4.0.x. When I try to install it on my Windows Vista machine, I receive errors concerning licensing and the product does not launch. How can I install SPSS Data Entry for Windows on a Windows Vista machine?
Resolving the problem


SPSS has developed a method for installing Data Entry for Windows which will allow the program to function on Windows Vista. Please note that
SPSS Data Entry for Windows is not officially tested or supported on this platform.

1. Insert the Data Entry for Windows CD-ROM and browse the CD-ROM through Windows Explorer.

2. Locate the file, setup.exe and right click on it. Choose the resulting option of Run as Administrator.
a. The setup.exe file is located in the 'dew' folder on the root of the Installation CD.
Only for Windows Vista Users, do the remaining 3 bullet points:
* Right click on setup.exe or setup and choose "Run as administrator".
* You will get the memory error but just click "OK" and proceed with the installation.
* Follow the directions on each screen.

3. Follow the prompts during the installation process. After entering your license code, you will get a warning

"The license file could not be installed on your machine"

If you have chosen to install both Data Entry Builder and Data Entry Station, you will be prompted to enter license codes for each of the products, followed by this warning for each. Ignore this warning and continue.

4. Click the Finish button when the installation has completed.

5. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Data Entry for Windows folder installed on the hard drive. The default directory is C:\Program Files\Data Entry for Windows.

6. Locate the file, licrenew.exe, and right click on it and choose Properties.

7. In the Properties dialog box, select the Compatibility tab. Click on the check box in the Privilege Level section to enable Run this program as an administrator. Click OK to finish.

8. Using Windows Explorer, double click on the licrenew.exe file. A DOS window will appear asking for a license to be entered. Enter your license code for SPSS Data Entry for Windows and press Enter. If you have two codes, enter them one at a time.

9. In order to launch the program successfully, click on the Start button located in the windows toolbar and navigate through the menu items to find SPSS Data Entry for Windows. Click on it to expand, showing the shortcuts for SPSS Data Entry Builder and SPSS Data Entry Station. You will only see SPSS Data Entry Station if you have purchased this product. Select SPSS Data Entry Builder and right click on the mouse. Select Properties in the context menu.

10. Click the Compatibility tab in the resulting dialog box and in the Privilege Level, select the check box to enable Run this program as an administrator and click OK.

11. Repeat these steps for the SPSS Data Entry Station shortcut menu item if you have purchased this product.

12. Launch the product using the shortcuts just modified. You will see a User Account Control alert:

An unidentified program wants access to your computer.

If the name of the program is builder.exe or station.exe, choose to Allow its execution.

Now both programs should function correctly in Windows Vista
