[Gretl-users] installation problems

Dear all, I use gretl in my introductory econometrics class, and one of my students is experiencing a strange (imho) problem installing it on her computer. In the course of trying to help her out I've discovered that there seems to be something wrong with the gretl-1.6.5.exe file on the windows page. After saving this file to disk, it turns out to only be about 21kB instead of 9MB. Trying to run it gives the error message "The NTVDM CPI has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:0551 IP:02bd OP:63 6f 6e 74 65" OK, so on to the current snapshot. This installs fine on my machine, but she gets an error saying "Error creating INI entry in file "c:\windows\wgnuplot.ini". This sounds like a registry issue (maybe?) - at any rate it falls within my range of ignorance. Unfortunately I don't know what type of machine (other than windows) she's using - I'll try to find out. Has anyone out there encountered anything similar? TIA!
