Nothing.

No, there are about 6 registry entries set and these will be overwritten in a next pspp installation.

I have only see a very time consuming installation and deinstallation proces when people changed the default path where to install pspp and choose to install in in "Program Files" and not in a subdirectory PSPP.

PSPP ended the installation process at 1:00 and now it shows the message
Unreleased test software. Not for production use.
But I installed pspp-090+20160124-snapshot-64bits-setup.exe (version
*0.9.0-g745ee3) *downloaded  from http://pspp.awardspace.com/
Is this the wrong site ??

No, pspp.awardspace.com links to sourceforge.com.  The reason of the message was already pointed out by John.

Have fun
