Download omsgui.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying omsgui.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. SPSS Inc typically does not release PASW Statistics INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing omsgui.ini and all other INI files for PASW Statistics. An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
