I know that many of you have had problems installing SPSS Student Version 17 software due to "error 1330." The good people at SPSS/PASW know this and have provided a solution. You can download the software directly from Pearson who distributes the software to educational institutions. The process will require you to download the entire program, so make sure you have a high-speed connection. You will end up with the SPSS/PASW Statistics Student Version 18, the same one I use in our class. Below is the link to Pearson's website to get things rolling. As they state at their website, the only information you will need is the ISBN # (i.e., 978-0-13-8010942) which is used for the serial number.

You’ll need to register with Pearson first, once you arrive at the link. In turn, they’ll immediately verify your registration via email. Then you’ll get the download link. Go there and download the large "patch" file. Install it by double clicking on the icon downloaded to your desktop (or wherever you downloaded the file). I hope this helps!
A special thanks goes out to Robert Wildonger (PS 205) for being the first to identify the solution to this software headache!
Professor Ziner, I have downloaded the PASWv18 ok but does that now replace the SPSSv17 I had? Will it have the same functionality as the SPSS if i use PASWv18? Where can i download the data for PASWv18 that we use to do the exercises (formerly from the disk into SPSS). Why can't i download a copy of SPSSv17 onto my computer with that PASW patch if i am running Windows 7? Do i need to buy SPSSv18? I'm just a little bit worried....:)))) I'm in Australia. Thanks KS.
