Everything is possible. But if I look at the internet this problem is reported a lot with a lot of different programs. Unfortunately I got the same error on 1 of my test installations. As a lot of strange things where tested on this installation I thought it was corrupt, formatted it and reinstalled the same MSWindows version. Now everything works fine. Things I found/conclude: - I lost the possibility to see/check the problem myself - there is not a problem in PSPP itself, the problem is in the combination of a specific MSWindows installation and PSPP (for MSWindows) - on the internet I read several suggestions this error ins in coonection with different dll versions on the same machine My conclusion is that my new toolchain is slightly different from the old one and now hits the MSWindows problem. The msys shell probably hides the MSWindows problem... I will generate several test versions and ask for users who have this problem to try them. I hope this will give me some insight in the problem.
