Installing SPSS under Vista
As it turns out, you may run into a couple of obstacles when installing SPSS under Vista. I certainly did. First, when I ran the installation program I got an “internal error 2738,” which a website told me was due to a problem with the VBScript DLL. When I tried to use regsvr32 to register this DLL I got the unhelpful “DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0×80004005.” It turns out that this is also discussed at the bottom of the same website. The key is to run regsvr32 from a command prompt with Administrator priviledges. Here is a post from My Digital Life on how you can open a command prompt with Administrator privileges. This website also gives a little more general overview of error code 0×80004005 when running regsvr32.
