Apparently the malware warnings are spurious: See nim issue #23151 
<https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/23151>.

That said, there is no way I would open the .zip file without first 
disinfecting it.

The Nim install page <https://nim-lang.org/install_windows.html>said to run 
finish.exe after unpacking the .zip file. But that file does not exist. 
Happily, earlier I had found the Nim Package Directory 
<https://nimble.directory/>.

I was looking for a python tokenizer, but I noticed the Nim package 
<https://nimble.directory/pkg/nim>.

To complete the install I just ran nimble install nim from Nim's bin 
directory. Everything just worked!

Perhaps I got lucky: I had already installed gcc (and added gcc.cmd) so 
nimble could invoke gcc even with gcc missing from my Windows path.

*Summary*

Use nimble install nim to complete the install.

I am eager to start playing with Nim!
