unfortunately I couldn't find windows binaries for 2.15
Seems the www.bconverged.com has stopped to provide ccx (last release is 2.10)

can one privide a link to the binaries.

There appears to be one on this page: http://www.dhondt.de/ It's the last item in the CCX download list, confusingly called "files". Direct link http://www.dhondt.de/calculix_2.15_4win.zip

A useful new option in 2.15 is *CONTROLS,PARAMETERS=CONTACT which allows you to increase the maximum number of iterations before it gives up. I just used that to get a difficult contact problem to solve which looked like it was converging but wouldn't go past 60 iterations on its own.
