Ran the installer on Windows 7 (64-bit) and came across 2 problems so far.

The first was when trying the 'rustc' command from cmd.exe, I got an error 'libpthread-2.dll is not found'. If tried in PowerShell, there is no output or error, just a new prompt. Following the 'Troubleshooting Windows environment setups' section here https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Note-getting-started-developing-Rust, and dumping the dll into the Rust installation directory (C:\Program Files(x86)\Rust\bin) fixed that error.

(I would note that I have no idea where that lzma command line program mentioned in the Notes page comes from. Tried http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html that, and that was a rabbit hole of confusion. It was much simpler to use the 7-zip GUI to extract the dll from the .tar.lzma package.)

The second problem is with 'rusti', https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/7499 was happening for me.
