When I opened Alan Mead's pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
(32-bit) a warning popped up
"Beim Verarbeiten einer Seite ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Beim Lesen dieses Dokuments ist ein Problem aufgetreten (135)." (An error occurred while processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (135).)
and the second page was blank. No regression coefficients were
reported. I don't have these problems with other pdf files or with
the previous PSPP version created by Harry Thijssen.
By the way: I uninstalled my previous PSPP version first and then
installed the new PSPP version created by John Darrington. But
because it doesn't seem to work correctly, I uninstalled the new
version and re-installed the old one.
Kind regards,
Dr. Oliver Walter
John,
Thanks for looking into this. Your Windows binary seemed to work fine for me in light testing.
Unlike Dr. Walter, I was able to export to PDF but in this log, every line was doubled. Is that normal? I'm attaching the PDF.
Does the installation script uninstall over versions? If not (and perhaps until that is completely tested) I would recommend a warning for the user to manually uninstall all prior versions first.
I think this is great and we should ask for wider testing.

PSPP was installed, but a DOS window also opened and had some warnings: I noticed these too, but I think they are harmless. I did a simple linear regression analysis and got some results, but I was not able to export the PSPP output into a working pdf file: The pdf file was created, but when I opened it it was empty. That is strange. I explicitly tested that feature and it certainly worked for me. Since I don't normally use windows, I'm afraid it is going to be up to more knowledgeable about windows to fix these issues. Thanks for the report anyway. J'

And if that makes no sense to you, just reflect on the existence of Facebook. We have the vastness of the internet and yet billions of people decided to spend most of them time within a horribly designed, fake-news emporium of a website that sucks every possible piece of personal information out of you so it can sell it to others. And they see nothing wrong with that. -- Kieren McCarthy, commenting on why we are not all using IPv6
