Hello-

 

I have been trying to install CEM for SPSS 19. I followed every installation step and I think it was successfully installed. But when I run the program, it gives me the error messages as below:
GET
  FILE='E:\Users\Michiko\Desktop\lalonde.sav'.

>Warning.  Command name: GET FILE
>SPSS Statistics data file "E:\Users\Michiko\Desktop\lalonde.sav" is written in a character encoding (ISO_8859-1:1987)
>incompatible with the current LOCALE setting.  It may not be readable.
>Consider changing LOCALE or setting UNICODE on.  (DATA 1721)
DATASET NAME DataSet1 WINDOW=FRONT.
CEM TREATMENT=treated VARIABLES=age education black married nodegree re74 re75.

>Error # 6887.  Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM
>External program failed during initialization.
>Execution of this command stops.
Additional error message: Load Python library failed.

>Error # 6887.  Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM
>External program failed during initialization.
FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=age
  /ORDER=ANALYSIS.

I also followed the instuction for troubleshooting (http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/cem-spss/pages/troubleshooting) so I got no error message on R, so I should be okay on this one.. Can someone please help me figure out what I need to do to successfuly run CEM on SPSS?

Thank you!
