Summary: MinGW-5.1.3.exe fails on XP 

Initial Comment:
"MinGW-5.1.3.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."

... occurs before the downloads can complete, even if using the 'download only' option (current version)

- Windows XP w/sp2 (build 2600 & up to date)
- AMD Turion 64 (mobile) ML-30 w/2GB RAM
- MinGW has never been installed before (any ver.)

I was able to successfully download, unzip (using 7-zip) and install the individual files manually.

FYI: I tried MinGW-5.1.2 and had the same result.
