IBM SPSS Modeler 18.6 Client's License Authorization Wizard fails to launch on Windows

Troubleshooting


Problem

After completing the installation of IBM SPSS Modeler 18.6 Client on Microsoft Windows the License Authorization Wizard is run once automatically, and this works.  Attempting to launch the wizard again fails as does the command line licensing tool "licenseactivator.exe".

Symptom

Attempting to run these utilities only shows the following error:
LaunchAnywhereError
