Hi Michiko,
It looks like there is an error in the installation of Python and/or the
SPSS Python Plugin. You should try to uninstall the SPSS Python Plugin and
Python, then re-install Python from this file:
Then download the SPSS Python Plugin (assuming you are using Windows
32-bit):
Now, make sure to open the program using the "Run as Administrator" option
in Windows in order to install everything correctly. Once you do this, try
CEM again. If you still get errors, please let us know.
Cheers,
matt.

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!
