I used to write an article, “Run SPM2, SPM5, and SPM8 concurrently.” Though this is a smart way to run different version of SPM, we need to prepare scripts separately. So I came up with another script, called “SPM switcher”. This script brings up a dialog and you can select the version of SPM you want to run.
- Make a directory where you want to save scripts. (e.g. C:\Users\foo\Documents\MATLAB\)
- Add the directory to the path in Matlab. (File -> Set Path -> Add path)
- put spm_rmpath.m in SPM2 and SPM99 directory.
- save switchspm.m in the directory you prepared.
- edit switchspm.m and change “spm_path=’C:\spm\'” according to your circumstance.
You find this file in SPM5 or SPM8 directory. You can just copy it from SPM5/8 to SPM2/99 directory.
Typing switchspm in Matlab command window will bring up a dialog below and you can run different version of SPM easily.
