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.

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

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.
