I have downloaded and unpacked the downlaod file gretl2024b.tar
into my C:program files. folder.
However, I can see no way of installing the program. There appears to be no
installer, or if there is,I am failing to recognising a runnable exe file.
Advice welcomed.

Hi,
maybe you should download this file:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gretl/gretl-2024b-64.exe

Hi Marcin
Thanks. I found the MS Windows autoi-nstall eventually further down the
page after giving up looking in the unpacked gretl-2024b.tar folders for an
exe file/installer.
It is a little misleading when opening up the download gretl page to see
the source file listed first. That suggests that gret-l2024b.tar is what
should be downloaded and the expectation is that it would then have an
autorun install somewhere in the unpacked files that could be run.
However,
to quote Wm Shakespeare "all's well that ends well"!
cheers

I guess you're talking of the gretl homepage and the Download section. I
agree that even on Linux the source package is probably mostly relevant
to the distro packagers and perhaps doesn't deserve the first slot, and
that the homepage in general could be streamlined and could perhaps use
less text on the front page.
Note, however, that on the left there is a kind of menu that has "gretl
for Windows" as the second entry, which leads you to the installers you
want.

Hi Sven,
Agreed.One assumes that when one sees a large Download sign on the page
and a clickable Source file , the natural instinct is to assume that is
what one should download and that they would launch with an installer, or
that an instal exe file would be in the downloaded package of files.
Having the self installing Windows and Linux versions at the top of that
page would seem more logical.
