when I right click on the
http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/u/usespss.forwin32
in your message and attempt to save the file, it allows me to do it,
which makes me think that:
1. the file is actually there
2. there is something about your system that does not allow it to be  
installed.

Are the other files installed OK?


Another correspondent wrote to me privately indicating a problem with  
installing this routine (relating to the name of the binary  
component), which I rectified earlier today. There is no problem with  
installing this routine now (I say optimistically, as I cannot  
install it).

Please do NOT use the URLs for IDEAS (ideas.repec.org) or EconPapers  
(econpapers.repec.org) to download the components of this or any  
other routine on the SSC Archive! The -ssc- command exists to make  
that process error-free. Particularly Windows users (and no one else  
will want this routine) have problems downloading .hlp files, let  
alone binary executables (whether they are named .dll, .plu, .spg or  
whatever). Stata itself can download these materials and locate them  
in the correct directories using -ssc-, and that is the right way to  
acquire them.
