I went a different route but didn't get nimble. I installed minGW from the Nim Github site, then cloned the Nim Github and followed the instructions as given on Nim <https://github.com/nim-lang/nim?tab=readme-ov-file#compiling>. This gave me Nim 1.9.1. However, the build script also tries to build koch, and Windows Defender thinks it's malware and deletes it. That might be the source of the warning for the zip of the binary distro. According to the instructions, kock is used to further upgrade Nim. So that won't work.
Also, this distro doesn't build nimble. I'll go after that next. On Monday, January 1, 2024 at 10:27:25 AM UTC-5 Edward K.
