Because Windows doesn't include the buildchain, Harry Thijssen provides Windows installs as Windows executables:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows http://pspp.awardspace.com/ The installer is NSIS, which supports silent installs: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter4.html#silent , but it looks like Harry would have to enable/support that usage and I have no idea whether he's done so (or whether that applies to EXE's vs. MSI's). Another issue you should consider is that PSPP is not a feature-complete replacement for SPSS, although you can open/manipulate/save SPSS files (better than SPSS because more versions are supported) and do many statistical analyses. -Alan On 2/14/2019 9:51 AM, Kent West wrote: > (Please CC me as I'm not subscribed) > > I've just discovered PSPP.
