IBM SPSS Statistics and Statistics Subscription: Failure to launch

Troubleshooting


Problem

There have been a number of Support cases opened where the overarching description is that the user successfully installs IBM SPSS Statistics and then tries to launch it, but that launch fails for one reason or another.  This technote attempts to summarize some general possibilities for the launch to fail.

Symptom

The launch gets as far as the spinning Sigma icon and then the icon disappears.  Checking the Task Manager (on Windows) or the Application monitor (on macOS) reveals there is no SPSS Statistics related process running.
