  • 1.  Start Up Error in Windows 11?

    Posted 05/31/22 09:57 AM
    Hi All. I just got a new PC (Dell XPS laptop) that comes with Windows 11. I  installed SPSS and whenever I open SPSS for the first time, I get the error below. The error occurs regardless of whether I am opening an existing file or starting a new data set. Note: if I install SPSS on my old compute with Windows 10, I do not get this error so the install file is good. Does anyone have any solutions?

    That is unusual.  When Statistics starts up, it runs the "extension" command several times to register your extensions (many are pre-installed).  It looks like some of these are having issues.

    If you go to the Edit->Options menu item, and select the "Files" tab, you will see a "Journal File" entry.  Copy this value and edit it in a text editor.  It shows all the syntax commands you have run.  Share any commands that start with "extension" or "EXTENSION" from today.  Likely that will help us figure out what the issue is.

    Louis, apologies for the very late reply. It turns out that the issue was due an apostrophe in my user name which then caused these errors (credit to Jon Peck for identifying the error). I changed the install location and the issue was resolved.
