PSPPIRE doesn't start.

[dan.hunting]

The last several versions of PSPPIRE.EXE crash before they even get to the 
opening screen for me. he same on either a Windows 7 or a Windows XP machine. 
All that comes up when I invoke the program is a window notifying me of a 
problem.
I’ve attached two screenshots of the error windows. The first simply says 
‘psppire.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the 
inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft about this problem . . .’ At the bottom of 
this window it says ‘To see what data this report contains, click here.’ If I 
click there, the second screenshot is the result. It describes the ‘Error 
signature’ like this: ‘AppName: psppire.exe AppVer: 0.7.9.0 ModName: 
libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll ModVer: 2.24.8.0 Offset: 000081f4’

I get these results using the setup file pspp-079-20120629-32bits-Setup.exe. 
The installation process went smoothly, with no indication of trouble. I can 
get the program to open and work if I go back to the setup file 
setup-pspp-20090518.exe.
Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on here?
