Hi buddies,
I tried unsuccessfully today to install Nim version 1.6 "cleanly" on Windows
11. There was a hail of error messages.
I'm very happy if someone helps me to get over it.
I did the following on a virgin Windows 11 system (running under VirtualBox):
* Download choosenim-0.8.2_windows_amd64.exe
* Windows initially blocked the download because it was a "dangerous" file.
* I reported the file to MS as not dangerous and then downloaded the file
anyway.
* I Started a Powershell in admin mode (Win+X) and executed the following
commands:
* .choosenim-0.8.2_windows_amd64.exe update self
* Info: Already up to date at version 0.8.2
* .choosenim-0.8.2_windows_amd64.exe stable --firstinstall
* From this point on there was a flood of error messages.
* I tried the whole thing again, but turned off Defender first.
* Unfortunately, the error messages did not decrease.
* For Output see Text below
* I Started another powershell (because of Path)
* nim -v
* Output:
* Nim compiler version 1.6.0 [Windows: amd64]
* Compiled at 2021-10-19
* Copyright (c) 2006-2021 by Andreas Rumpf
* active boot switches: -d:release
