SPSS: Windows 3.1 Version - Download Options

Downloading the software to your hard disk

• The browser may have you store a self-extracting compressed (.EXE) file in a temporary directory named C:\SPSSTEMP. If that happens, you will later need to follow the instructions below to extract the actual files used for the SPSS installation.

• The browser may instead extract the files as the downloading process occurs, and store the actual files used for the SPSS installation in a directory named C:\SPSSTEMP.

In either case, first create a directory named C:\SPSSTEMP .

• Start the download of the self-extracting compressed file WIN31.EXE (11.3 Mbytes) by clicking on its name. Depending on your browser's configuration, you will save the WIN31.EXE file in the C:\SPSSTEMP directory or automatically extract the contents of WIN31.EXE and store the resulting collection of files in the C:\SPSSTEMP directory. If you are given a choice to save or to open the downloading file, select open.

• In the former case (i.e., save file), go to the Windows Menu Bar, and select File / Run. Type C:\SPSSTEMP\WIN31.EXE and select OK. When the "WinZip Self-Extractor" window appears, click on Unzip.  The resulting files will be stored in the C:\SPSSTEMP directory. Close the "WinZip Self-Extractor" window, and delete the WIN31.EXE file from the C:\SPSSTEMP directory.

• In the latter case (i.e., open file), the "WinZip Self-Extractor" window will appear. Click on Unzip.  The resulting files will be stored in the C:\SPSSTEMP directory. Close the "WinZip Self-Extractor" window.
