Hi Zypher, I'm sorry to hear it's not working properly for you. If you could copy+paste the error and/or attach your config.cmd file, it would be easier for me to help you. I bet I can fix the issue for you rather than you having to work around it. Either way, I don't think the problem is with md5sum.
If you see this message: [-] Errors while loading configuration file. Then there is an error in your config.cmd file. Technically, config.cmd is just a batch file <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file> that sets a bunch of variables when executed. It is created and used by get_chromium to store things like paths and urls. The file gets executed by get_chromium like any other batch file to set the variables. If there is an error while executing it, get_chromium will let you know with the message above. I use md5sum to check if any file you download matches the file on the server. I also use it to check if you have the latest version of get_chromium.cmd on your machine. Because config.cmd is different for everyone and never downloaded (but automatically generated and optionally manually modified), I never use md5sum on it, which is why I think disabling it won't help you. I know that I've had issues with the "chromium_review_url" variable because it contains ampersand (&) and percentage (%) characters, which is a special character in .cmd files. The need to be escaped properly in order for the file to load correctly, something I did not do everywhere. I believe I have fixed all these issues, but you config.cmd file may still contain bad values that cause the error. If you want to fix that, you should open the config.cmd file in notepad.exe, search for all instances of "&" and make sure the are preceded by a "^" (as in "^&"), secondly, look for all instances of "%" and replace them with "%%". I believe that will fix your issue. Alternatively, you could delete the config.cmd file, start get_chromium to get the latest version and then start it again. It will probably tell you that this is the first time you're installing it (because config.cmd is not there) and ask you if the settings are ok. You should choose to change the settings and modify them to what you have before you want. Save the file, close notepad and continue get_chromium; it should immediately detect what you already have installed and continue from there. This is also a way to fix the issue in config.cmd and you'll help me make sure I've resolved any bugs in the code. Let me know how it goes!
