[Msys2-users] Can't install msys2 on Win7 with latest updates

[lauri r. <lau...@ho...>]

Hi to you all!


My problem is as follows:


I had previously installed msys2 on Win7. After installing latest updates on Win7, the bash that comes with msys2 did not work any more (might have already happened after the previous updates as well, I just had not used bash for some time). It just showed a black window. I removed msys2 and tried reinstalling it (the latest 64bit version form msys2.org).


The installation process stops at 66%. When I look at the details, it shows installing C:\msys64\usr\share\terminfo\6e\nansi.sys and it won't proceed further.


In the task manager it shows several bash.exe processes. If I kill these processe, the installation asks if I want to try again? If I agree, a new bash.exe process appears and nothing happens. The installation won't proceed further.


Can anyone tell me where the problem might be?


Looking forward to you answer!

Lauri
