I meant that I have installed Friedrich's version recently on Windows.
I have compiled PSPP quite a while ago for CentOS. I needed John
Darrington's help and I could only get the non-gui target to build and
only for an older version of pspp.
I think compiling pspp for Windows with, say, Visual Studio might be
complicated. Maybe a Windows dev would disagree, but I think the builds
that are created are cross-compiled from Linux. It might be easier under
Cygwin or with one of the recent additions to Windows to make it easier
to compile software intended for Linux...

Hi Alan
Thanks for responding. Do you mean you compiled and PSPP developer's
version of PSPP and installed that? Or you installed Friedrich's version.
Thanks

And to expand on that, the PSPP developers release source code and
each platform (Windows, Mac, each Linux distro) then needs a package
maintainer to compile the software and "package" it to make it
available for end-users.
(To be clear, end-users are also allowed, even encouraged, to compile
the software themselves, but that is beyond the technical capabilities
of the average computer user.)
So virtually 100% of the users of PSPP are using a version made by
someone else.
Not that it's a bad idea to find out who made it. You are trusting
that the compiled code is sound. I can vouch for having installed and
used the Windows version of PSPP, but obviously your mileage may vary.

Hi all, sorry if this has been answered.
This page says we can get a windows version of pspp
