This sounds like an error in the installation script that we think is due to Windows 7 being EOL (because W7 is no longer supported, we think some component that we use in the installation package no longer supports W7).
If this is the issue, the 32-bit installation package should operate normally. Thanks for doing the homework about what's wrong, but because Windows 7 is unsupported and because the failure isn't in PSPP code, it is not going to be fixed. -Alan On 2/17/2021 8:31 PM, jeepee--- via PSPP user discussion wrote: > Hello, > > After uninstalling pspp version 1.2 and installing 1.4.1 > (pspp-20200905-daily-64bit) I get an error message the moment I try to start > it. > > It says (translated from German to English) (windows title): " Entry point > not > found" > Text: "The entry point of procedure "ScriptIsComplex" was not found in > GDI32.dll" > > I searched the internet and found the following at Microsoft: > https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/usp10/nf-usp10-scriptisc > omplex > > <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > ScriptIsComplex function (usp10.h) > > 12/05/2018 > 2 minutes to read > > Determines whether a Unicode string requires complex script processing. > ...... > ...... > Important Starting with Windows 8: To maintain the ability to run on > Windows 7, a module that uses Uniscribe must specify Usp10.lib before > gdi32.lib in its library list. > > <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > > So I think that the build for the windows version of pspp did not take care > of > the "important" note Microsoft placed for windows 7 usage. > > Could the person involved with the build for windows usage check this out > and eventually repair this? > > Best regards > Peter > > -- Alan D. Mead, Ph.D. President, Talent Algorithms Inc. science + technology = better workers http://www.alanmead.org The irony of this ... is that the Internet is both almost-infinitely expandable, while at the same time constrained within its own pre-defined box. 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
