Medium security (Tools → Internet Options → Security tab → Security level for this zone). – A security setting of High will prevent all users from logging into IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration, thus preventing access to Survey Reporter Server Edition and Author Server Edition.
Before you install any of the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server 6.0.1 applications you should verify that any required software is installed and running. If the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server 6.0.1 installation procedure is unable to find an application, or that application is not running correctly, the installation procedure will fail.
Note: For best results, use Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or above. Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Before you can run any of the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server applications, you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on your computer, and on machines that will run the...
You need to install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 on your computer before you can install any of the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server applications. If MDAC 2.8 (in any language) is not already installed, the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server installation program will install the English language version for you.
With some operating systems, Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed as part of the operating system. This is not the case with Windows 2003/2008 Server, where you must manually install IIS 7 or above before installing any of the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server 6.0.1 applications.

HTTP methods (verbs) (due to potential security issues). WebDAV can be disabled via the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. By default, the WebDAV service is disabled on the version of IIS deployed with IBM® SPSS® Data Collection products.
Installing required software Configuring Internet Information Services to avoid the detection of hidden directories Web-based applications will sometimes inadvertently expose a site’s directory structure. Although the exposed directories do not list their contents, the exposed directory information is detrimental to the site’s overall security. By knowing a directories name, a potential hacker can guess its content and possible file names that reside within.
If you will be using the charting feature, Microsoft Office Web Components (OWC) version 10 or later must be installed on your server. To view charts in IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Tabulation or IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Reporter, you must also have a license for Microsoft OWC on each client machine.
Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86 32-bit or x64 64-bit) You must have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86 32-bit or x64 64-bit) installed on all machines running IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Reporter Server Edition or IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Author Server Edition.
IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server installation information The IBM SPSS Data Collection Server installation procedure installs IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server, optionally with IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Web Interviews, onto a single machine or onto a cluster of machines. The installation procedure for single machines and clusters is completely configurable at all stages.

(such as those accomplished with Symantec’s Ghost or PowerQuest’s Drive Image) cannot be used for IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server servers. Interviewer Server has distinct configuration information on a per server basis, so imaging a server after installing Interviewer Server is not a viable option for multiple-server installations.

Pre-installation checklist for the IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server installation procedure Before you install IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server you should check that any software required by Interviewer Server is installed and running. If the Interviewer Server installation procedure is unable to find an application, or that application is not running correctly, the Interviewer Server installation procedure will fail.
IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server installation information Checking that machines in a cluster can communicate with each other Each machine in a cluster must be able to communicate with all the other machines in the same cluster. The easiest way to verify this is to use ping. This program sends a short stream of data from one machine to another and waits for the receiving machine to return the data.

Click In the list of names, choose the user name you created earlier and then click Click OK to close the Select Users or Groups dialog box.
Creating the anonymous access user Many of the IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server applications must be run using the Anonymous IIS User account rather than the account of the user who started the application. The Anonymous User account is also required for accessing the Interviewer Server databases on the database server.
The Installing User, the Anonymous Access User and all scriptwriters must belong to a single group. This ensures that these users will have access to the IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server components and that Interviewer Server will function correctly. If you do not have a suitable group already set up, you must create a new group before you install Interviewer Server.
If Everyone does not appear in the list, add it and set the appropriate permission. Preparing to run IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server through a firewall If you will be running IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server through a firewall certain ports on the firewall must be open.
Page 40
Chapter 3 Firewall between the IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server/Accessories server and the data server Communication between the Interviewer Server/Accessories server and the data server takes place using TCP on port 1433. This port must be opened before the installation begins, as the installation process writes to the data server.
It also means that it will be easier to add extra machines into the cluster at a later date. Installation procedures The installation procedure varies depending on whether you are installing IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server on a single machine or on more than one machine.
Page 42
All servers and scriptwriter machines in one domain The installation procedure uses Domain\Running User, Domain\Anonymous User, and Domain\IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Group to set up the Interviewer Server services and the database access group. Note: The domain group cannot be a Local domain group. Domain groups must be created as Global, otherwise the DPM Server will not start after installation.
