Hmmm, I'm sorry it didn't work for you out of the box. Of course it works
seamlessly for me, murphys law at work :)

When you ran the installer what path did you use for the install? It doesn't
work in anything other than c:\chicken. Also, if you haven't already try
adding C:\chicken\bin to your PATH. Finally, note that it is possible that
there are dependencies on MinGW being installed in C:\MinGW, I have not
tested anything else.
