RE: New Windows installer for test and feedback

[Marshall DeBerry]

This test version of PSPP 1.5.3 installed fine on my up to date version of 
Windows 10.   As Alan points out, it didn't initially want to install because 
this executable/install file was coming from an "Unknown Publisher", and halts 
execution of the installation so as to try and prevent any potential malicious 
software from being installed.   Clicking on the "More Information" and 
allowing it to install allows installation to continue.  It created a shortcut 
on the desktop as well as properly placing PSPP items in the Start menu.

I haven't tried any procedures yet, but it seems to be working ok from the 
psppire side of things so far.

John,

Glad to see another Windows build. For me, using Windows 10, this installs 
correctly, I was able to read a delimited file, and correlations matched those 
I calculated in R. I may have opportunity to test it further.

However, Windows didn't want to run this. I had to select something like "More 
information" and then allow it to run. IIRC, I had to do this twice in a row 
(maybe one layer was a Windows layer and the second was Windows Defender?). I 
did the install twice, and it only asked me to allow it the first time.
