This will make you access and use of PLS-GUI a whole lot easier if you have R installed...

It is the file “plsgui_1.0.tar.gz” at the dropbox location

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xu5z6xddmcyolbi/ZPJLf-9BXO?n=20063218

Download that tar.gz file, put it in the default directory in your R session and in R type:

install.packages("plsgui_1.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")

then

library(“plsgui”)

However, since it is based in the visual GTK+ language, you will first need to install
Glade_libraries_3_4_3_win32_1.zip

Which is downloadable at that same dropbox URL above

Once installed and loaded into your R session, then type

runPLS()

and the PLS-GUI should pop open

Not in the U.S. I will be presenting this material at UNNC in Ningbo China Sept 1-5, and then online to anyone who registers for the 5-session course scheduled for September and early October. However, Dr. Henseler and Dr. Ringle regularly present a course on new directions in PLS path modeling in Germany. You might visit the PLS-School site at http://pls-school.com

Dear Geoff,
I'm facing difficulty when intalling the PLS-GUI:
1) I installed R software under D:\Program files\R-3.1.1 of my laptop (Win7,32 bit).
2) I downloaded "plsgui_1.0.tar.gz" and put it into the library directory of R-3.1.1
3) Then I run "install.packages("plsgui_1.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
Then I got the following message:
> install.packages("plsgui_1.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
Warning: invalid package 'plsgui_1.0.tar.gz'
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Warning messages:
1: running command '"D:/PROGRA~1/R-31~1.1/bin/i386/R" CMD INSTALL -l "D:\Program Files\R-3.1.1\library" "plsgui_1.0.tar.gz"' had status 1
2: In install.packages("plsgui_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source") :
  installation of package ‘plsgui_1.0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

As I haven't run R sofware before, would you please advise what shall I do to fix this problem?

Besides, I downloaded "glade-3-8-3-installer" from the dropbox location you gave us, what should I do to load it into R sofware? Or I just simple double click and install it? 

Your further help will be highly appreciated~!

Yes, that particular PLS-GUI package is antiquated, not supported anymore. There is an updated version which can be sourced in directly and which will look and see what files and libraries you have installed, and then install the needed ones for you.

However, now we will only offer PLS-GUI to people who have a licensed copy of SmartPLS 3.0 pro installed and running.

Best,

Geoff Hubona
