At that time it will be helpful to have the full crash log. On your mac, open the "Applications -> Utilities -> Console.app". Review the "Crash Reports" and "Diagnostic Reports" sections looking for files with "spssengine" or "SPSS Statistics" in their names. Right click on these and select "Reveal in Finder". This will allow you to move/copy these log files to a p[lace where you can then send them in with your Support case.
@jlaslo @jclements were you able to get this spss 26 silent install to work with macOS 10.15 Catalina? Mine fails because of the legacy java that i have included to install. It works with 10.13 but not with 10.14 10.15
I can confirm that's true too. I used to have to install Amazon Corretto 8 in order to license spss 26, but with 27, I can install using the package then run the licenseactivator.sh tool and activate it with Corretto 11 without issue.
@epomelow @cbd4s @pchimombe @byrnese Im about ready to test the spss 27 install. I do something similar to @byrnese putting installer in /private/var/tmp and will use the script ibm has in their pdf macos documentation for using user activation. Basically same couple lines as @byrnese script.
Not going to use any java jdk like with spss26.
Documentation shows no mention of java needed for silent install and @cbd4s said no java needed.
