This document attempts to provide a brief description of batch files and executables installed in
the SPSS for Windows installation directory.


BATCH FILES:
delbars.bat - This file will reset toolbars and status bars in SPSS.

dumb-off.bat - This file reverses the settings of dumb-on.bat, causing SPSS to perceive the
printer normally.

dumb-on.bat - This file is run for chart printing diagnostics. If a user is having printing problems,
s/he can run this file to make SPSS regard the printer as a very low level printer with a primitive
instruction set.

expoff.bat - This file will cause SPSS to NOT display an alert when your license is close to
expiring.

generic.bat - This bat file is provided to allow users to customize SPSS font settings. Most of
these settings can also be set in the Options dialog box under the Edit menu, but Dialogfont can
only be set here. You may need to run this file if characters in your script do not appear correctly
in dialog boxes, the Data Editor, Syntax Windows, The Output Viewer Outline window, graphics,
or in pivot tables.

greek.bat – This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for Greek SPSS for
Windows.

hebrew.bat – This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for Hebrew SPSS for
Windows.

launchon.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again display the "launch" dialog when the product
launches.

newuser.bat - enters/registers the user in the Windows registry (inserts an SPSS branch under
the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS branch). This is used to configure a new user to use SPSS on an
NT machine.

objs-off.bat – This file turns off the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It undoes the work of
objs-on.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft has not worked out the bugs in
implementing Active-X. This file will cause SPSS to NOT add output OBJECTS to the clipboard,
when the user Cuts or Copies an object. SPSS defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard
because many applications do not support these (Active-X control) objects. Pasting or dropping
an Active-X object into a container that does not support them may cause instability. If you
decide to try using these objects in other applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully
before relying on them in your everyday work.

objs-on.bat - This file turns on the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It undoes the work of
objs-off.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft has not worked out the bugs in
implementing Active-X. This file will cause SPSS to add output OBJECTS to the clipboard, in
addition to the other formats it places there when the user Cuts or Copies an output. SPSS
defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard, because many applications do not support
these (Active-X control) objects. Pasting or dropping an Active-X object into a container that does
not support them may cause instability. If you decide to try using these objects in other
applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully before relying on them in your everyday
work.
pmalert.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again prompt when opening large pivot tables or text
objects.

prtfast.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size
that is large in size and may result in the best print performance for PCs plenty of RAM and virtual
memory. If your printed charts have missing white stripes, try prtnorm.bat or prtslow.bat that are
slower, but work better for low-memory machines or printers.

prtnorm.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size
that is of moderate size and will work with most modern printers. For faster printing, try
prtfast.bat. If your printed charts have missing white stripes, try prtslow.bat that is faster, but uses
a smaller print buffer size.

prtslow.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size
that is slow, but will work with all printers. For faster printing, try prtnorm.bat or prtfast.bat.

regpurge.bat - completely removes SPSS from the Windows registry.

rereg.bat – re-registers the current version of SPSS in the Windows registry. You must be in the
directory where rereg.bat resides, and it will register the version of SPSS in that directory.

rereg61.bat – if SPSS 6.1.x is installed, this makes 6.1.x the primary SPSS version on the
machine (rather than the current version).

rereg70.bat – if SPSS 7.0.x is installed, this makes 7.0.x the primary SPSS version on the
machine (rather than the current version).

wmf-off.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts normally. It undoes the work of wmf-on.bat.

wmf-on.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts differently than usual.             In order to
circumvent bugs in many printer drivers, we'll print Windows metafiles directly.


EXECUTABLES:
50comupd.exe - Common Control Library Patch (Multi-lingual-version). For Windows®

(spssprod.exe).

showlic.exe – Displays license information.

spssdbca.exe – The SPSS Database Access Manager is a graphical application used to simplify
large or confusing data sources for use with the Database Wizard. It allows users and
administrators to customize their data source.

spssprod.exe - The Production Facility provides the ability to run the program in an automated
fashion. The program runs unattended and terminates after executing the last command, so you
can perform other tasks while it runs. Production mode is useful if you often run the same set of
time-consuming analyses, such as weekly reports.

spssrtf.exe – A mechanism that is required by the Viewer.

spsswin.exe - This is the executable that runs the SPSS front-end GUI (graphical user interface).

  • 1. This document attempts to provide a brief description of batch files and executables installed in the SPSS for Windows installation directory. BATCH FILES: delbars.bat - This file will reset toolbars and status bars in SPSS. dumb-off.bat - This file reverses the settings of dumb-on.bat, causing SPSS to perceive the printer normally. dumb-on.bat - This file is run for chart printing diagnostics. If a user is having printing problems, s/he can run this file to make SPSS regard the printer as a very low level printer with a primitive instruction set. expoff.bat - This file will cause SPSS to NOT display an alert when your license is close to expiring. generic.bat - This bat file is provided to allow users to customize SPSS font settings. Most of these settings can also be set in the Options dialog box under the Edit menu, but Dialogfont can only be set here. You may need to run this file if characters in your script do not appear correctly in dialog boxes, the Data Editor, Syntax Windows, The Output Viewer Outline window, graphics, or in pivot tables. greek.bat – This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for Greek SPSS for Windows. hebrew.bat – This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for Hebrew SPSS for Windows. launchon.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again display the "launch" dialog when the product launches. newuser.bat - enters/registers the user in the Windows registry (inserts an SPSS branch under the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS branch). This is used to configure a new user to use SPSS on an NT machine. objs-off.bat – This file turns off the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It undoes the work of objs-on.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft has not worked out the bugs in implementing Active-X. This file will cause SPSS to NOT add output OBJECTS to the clipboard, when the user Cuts or Copies an object. SPSS defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard because many applications do not support these (Active-X control) objects. Pasting or dropping an Active-X object into a container that does not support them may cause instability. If you decide to try using these objects in other applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully before relying on them in your everyday work. objs-on.bat - This file turns on the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It undoes the work of objs-off.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft has not worked out the bugs in implementing Active-X. This file will cause SPSS to add output OBJECTS to the clipboard, in addition to the other formats it places there when the user Cuts or Copies an output. SPSS defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard, because many applications do not support these (Active-X control) objects. Pasting or dropping an Active-X object into a container that does not support them may cause instability. If you decide to try using these objects in other applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully before relying on them in your everyday work.
  • 2. pmalert.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again prompt when opening large pivot tables or text objects. prtfast.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size that is large in size and may result in the best print performance for PCs plenty of RAM and virtual memory. If your printed charts have missing white stripes, try prtnorm.bat or prtslow.bat that are slower, but work better for low-memory machines or printers. prtnorm.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size that is of moderate size and will work with most modern printers. For faster printing, try prtfast.bat. If your printed charts have missing white stripes, try prtslow.bat that is faster, but uses a smaller print buffer size. prtslow.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size that is slow, but will work with all printers. For faster printing, try prtnorm.bat or prtfast.bat. regpurge.bat - completely removes SPSS from the Windows registry. rereg.bat – re-registers the current version of SPSS in the Windows registry. You must be in the directory where rereg.bat resides, and it will register the version of SPSS in that directory. rereg61.bat – if SPSS 6.1.x is installed, this makes 6.1.x the primary SPSS version on the machine (rather than the current version). rereg70.bat – if SPSS 7.0.x is installed, this makes 7.0.x the primary SPSS version on the machine (rather than the current version). wmf-off.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts normally. It undoes the work of wmf-on.bat. wmf-on.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts differently than usual. In order to circumvent bugs in many printer drivers, we'll print Windows metafiles directly. EXECUTABLES: 50comupd.exe - Common Control Library Patch (Multi-lingual-version). For Windows® 95, 98, NT 4.0. ACTIVATOR.EXE – License Authorization Wizard used to license SPSS products. ainst.exe – Client Activator (License Authorization Wizard) Installer. AUNINST.EXE – Client Activator (Licence Authorization Wizard) Uninstaller. defrag.exe – This utility is used to defragment .SPO files that may collect unused data after repeated editing. dregedit.exe - an MS/DOS program that selectively alters the contents of the Windows registry. It uses dregedit.dat, or specialized arguments and switches to add or alter SPSS keys in the Windows registry. echoid.exe – Displays the Sentinel License Manager Host Locking Code. fileinfo.exe – Displays version information for files.
  • 3. geodictionarymanager40.exe – A graphical application that is used to register and unregister data files for use with the Maps option in SPSS.. geosetmanager40.exe – A graphical application that is used to build geosets for use with the Maps option in SPSS. licrenew.exe - This is the utility to update the license codes. It prompts the user for a license code. lslic.exe – Sentinel License Manager License Addition/Deletion Utility. lswhere.exe - Sentinel License Manager Search Tool For License Servers. openspss.exe – A Visual Basic application that uses OLE automation to open SPSS dialogs from the statistics coach. ProductRegistration.exe – Launches a browser to register on the SPSS Web site. regdump.exe – This dumps the SPSS-key contents of the Windows registry to an MS/DOS windows. regsvr32.exe - An MS-DOS executable used to register libraries. runsyntx.exe – A mechanism used to open SPSS and run syntax files, primarily used in Windows when the Run option is selected when right clicking on .SPS files. This executable should not be used to automate jobs – this is the primary purpose of the SPSS Production Facility (spssprod.exe). showlic.exe – Displays license information. spssdbca.exe – The SPSS Database Access Manager is a graphical application used to simplify large or confusing data sources for use with the Database Wizard. It allows users and administrators to customize their data source. spssprod.exe - The Production Facility provides the ability to run the program in an automated fashion. The program runs unattended and terminates after executing the last command, so you can perform other tasks while it runs. Production mode is useful if you often run the same set of time-consuming analyses, such as weekly reports. spssrtf.exe – A mechanism that is required by the Viewer. spsswin.exe - This is the executable that runs the SPSS front-end GUI (graphical user interface). syntaxconverter.exe – A utility to convert TABLES syntax to CTABLES syntax. testload.exe – A utility used to test the loading of libraries. virtualr.exe – Prompts the user to set the number of virtual rows in the Data Editor. This is useful when opening huge data sets when one doesn’t want to allocate memory for all of the cases in the Data Editor. The README contains more information on this matter. wregedit.exe - A windows version of dregedit.exe. OTHER FILES:
  • 4. dregedit.dat - Contains a list of commands used to populate the Windows registry with SPSS entries. Used by dregedit.exe and wregedit.exe. echoid.dat – A configuration file required by echoid.exe. SPSSClientSetup.log - This is a plain text record of SPSS’s installation on the machine. If something went wrong, it might be useful to inspect this file. It is created in the temp directory defined by the %TEMP% environment variable. spss.tpl - This file contains SPSS data templates. 70.dat, 61.dat - These are the input files required by rereg75.bat, rereg70.bat and rereg61.bat, respectively, in order to register their versions (7.5.x, 7.0.x or 6.1.x) as the primary version of SPSS in the Windows Registry. Note that they must also be copied into their respective directories. These files are similar to dregedit.dat.
