This is just a duplicate of what I posted to the "closed-invalid" bug report ( https://sourceforge.net/p/getgnuwin32/bugs/32/ ).


This is indeed an open bug. Windows will error out with "This app can't run on your PC". I can reproduce it on my Windows 10 Pro x64 machine which is running off of an Alienware 17 R5. I get the error after install.bat starts up the "Finished with packages. Fixing manifests and info entries..." process.

I'm running Microsoft Windows 10 Pro version 1803 (OS Build 17134.23) and I can confirm that this bug is present.

I can confirm that just running install-info.exe re-produces the problem.

      HA! :D Well, this might explain something :) It's 0 bytes :) Somehow it's not getting installed properly or downloaded.

    Possibly you accidentally installed gnuwin32 over itself, refer to #22. Try it from scratch.

    Well, I don't know what went wrong but I removed the installation and download directories and then re-installed everything from scratch and now everything works fine. :) You can close this bug.
