    It installs correctly on my machine. Did you try uninstalling it, and reinstalling?

      It installed fine on mine too. Try removing the previous version using the
      Windows tools.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled.
    Result is the same.
    I'm running a windows 10.

    Later this afternoon, I'll test on another Windows 10 and let you know.

    I have found some leftovers in my registers. I might need to clean those up.
    There is also a ravel 3.1.0-beta.37 appearing in the add-&-remove window, but uninstalling doesn't work (doesn't find the uninstall ravel.exe.

      Nothing has changed on the installer for a good year or two. More
      likely a change to Windows 10, but even then, I'm sceptical. It's most
      likely something specific with your machine.

    Note - tickets https://sourceforge.net/p/minsky/tickets/1559/ and https://sourceforge.net/p/minsky/ravel/375/ seem to be related. You might try manually removing the files that Minsky installs (instructions on ravel #375), in case Windows's software management systems gets its knickers in a twist, which I have occasionally seen.

    I tried all kinds of things, but in the end had to edit the register.
    After cleaning up the register, I was able to install the alpha 21.

    Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I did use them and try them out.

    I'm going to close this now, as I don't think its a bug with the Minsky, but rather a peculiarity of the Windows software management system.
