What are PRINCALS.xml Error Messages?


General PRINCALS.xml Runtime Errors

PRINCALS.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of PASW Statistics, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while PASW Statistics is running. Here are some of the most common PRINCALS.xml runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\Subscription\syntax_xml\PRINCALS.xml

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most XML errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your PRINCALS.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PASW Statistics), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, PRINCALS.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PASW Statistics, system crash while loading or saving PRINCALS.xml, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve PRINCALS.xml problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download PRINCALS.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying PRINCALS.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. SPSS Inc typically does not release PASW Statistics XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing PRINCALS.xml and all other XML files for PASW Statistics. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
