Good evening,
My name is Petru and I'm starting to use Gretl for the first time,
attending an introductory course to Econometrics.
I have found some problems when trying to use Gretl, version 2020d for MS
Windows (x64 bit).
When I tried the first time to download the data files used in Stock-Watson
book Introduction to Econometrics from the server, as indicated by my
lecturer (File --> Open data --> Sample file... --> Look on server), I have
run into a bug that suddenly closes Gretl when clicking install without the
possibility to save the work done till that moment.
I ran into the same problem also when trying to open any of the PDF help
files.
I have already deleted and redownloaded Gretl but the problem continues.
I will be really grateful if I can have some indications about how to solve
this problem.
This sounds very much like a bug that a user reported a couple of weeks
ago that we were unable to reproduce and, consequently, to fix. Are you,
by any chance, using the 32-bit windows gretl version on a 64-bit Windows
system?
If so, does the problem persist if you install the 64-bit version? Thanks!
