- 64 Bit Installer - Install SPSS 21 for Win 7 x64 TEMPLATE (do not use without changing auth code!)

Current Version: 21
Last Updated: 2/27/2013
NOTE: This package is just a template - You *MUST* create a new distribution package for each authorization code you receive and update it with the code before deploying to your client(s). Please see the "Creating your own distribution package" section below. There are also two versions of this installer template, one for Windows 64 bit systems and one for Windows 32 bit.
Switches
Current MSI Switches used: /i /qn AUTHCODE="CODE-GOES-HERE" COMPANYNAME="Tufts University"
Modifications
The MSI's used in this template were extracted from the EXE's located at \\titan\software$\fsp\SPSS\SPSS 21\
This was done by launching the EXE (SPSS_Statistics_21_win32.exe or ...win64.exe) and then running a file search on the local system for "IBM SPSS Statistics 21.msi". If that fails to show results, try searching the disk for *.msi and then sort by date & time modified.
In Windows 7 the decompressed files will most likely be found in a folder under the current users directory in \AppData\Local\Temp\
You will need the entire folder that the MSI is located in, not just the MSI itself.

Creating Your Own Distribution Package
After receiving the authorization code, within the LANDesk console navigate to Distribution Packages -> Public Packages -> ITS -> IBM -> SPSS 21
Right click on the appropriate installer for 64 or 32 bit and choose "Copy"
Then right click on Distribution packages -> My packages and choose "Paste"
This will make a copy of the template for you to work with.
Now right click on the copy you just made and update the following:
1) Under "Package Information" -> change the Name - please add the Incident Number from Tech Connect to help keep track of running tasks
2) Under Install / Uninstall options -> replace the text in the "Enter command line..." field that says "CODE-GOES-HERE" to reflect the authorization code you wish to use (leaving the quotation marks).
Please save your new distribution package and schedule for deployment as needed.
Just remember to create a new package each time you receive a new code.
