You may stick to the old version or download 4.7.2 32 bit (downloadable from: openmolecules.org/datawarrior/datawarrior472_32.msi).

If you have a Linux or MacOS computer available, then building from source code would be very easy.
The easiest would be, however, to download and unpack the current linux version.
It contains a 'datawarrior directory' that you can use on Windows as well, if you have a JRE installed.
Open a command shell, cd into the datawarrior directory and run:
java -Xms512m -Xmx4096m -splash:loading.png -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -cp *.jar com.actelion.research.datawarrior.DataWarriorLinux
You may put that into a .bat file for easier access.

Problems are:
- you need to unpack the downloaded tar.gz. If you have a Linux or Mac computer available, you can use those ("tar -zxvf datawarriorXXXlinux.tar.gz") and move the unpacked datawarrior directory with a USB stick. On Windows itself you may have to find a tool to unpack the tar.gz. A modern Windows also has bash support and should allow unpacking with the same syntax.
- You don't have native file support: incorrect icons and a double click doesn't start DataWarrior. You would need to open files from the File menu within DataWarrior.

Hope it was understandable, Thomas
