I wouldn't panic, but my understanding is that the PSPP team releases PSPP (as source) which is then packaged by various individuals for Windows, Mac, various Linux distros, etc. So, there is a sense in which there is never been "official" binary releases for any target.
Harry Thijssen had set up a process to cross-compile PSPP on Linux to produce a windows package (and I think he also wrote the nullsoft installer). That was the only Windows package available. There have been some issues, however, and on Jan 20 2021, Harry posted this note to the dev mailing list: > I think it is time to add a message on > https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html > <https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html> that MSWindows installers > are only available for versions pre oktober 2020. > This until somebody picks up the glove and redesigns the build scripts > to make them compatible with the newer pspp sources. So I think that means that Windows is currently in need of a new maintainer or someone to help Harry. Friedrich Beckmann also has been unable to cross-compile: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-dev/2020-11/msg00011.html If you're interested in setting up an environment, I'd recommend you join the dev mailing list. -Alan On 3/4/2021 6:55 PM, Gunnar Horrigmo wrote: > Hello. > > I'm slightly confused about the implications of this statement on > https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html: > > | Windows > | > | For PSPP versions prior to October 2020, Harry Thijssen provides > | installers or all downloadable files. > > Does this mean that there will no longer be provided "official" > PSPP installers for windows? > > I am deploying PSPP to thousands of windows computers.

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
