    When I try to install mingw it gives this:

    I'm 100% sure that my internet connection is OK.

    How to solve this problem? I tried downloading these files manually and put them under the same folder but it won't work.

    I'm not sure why, is this what you are getting after running the installer and using the command line? Also are you using the exact version of MinGW recommended in the guide? I know I just set up MinGW a few weeks ago and it worked fine (windows 10)

    EDIT: I found the answer.

    The default installation directory is C:\MinGW but I don't have a drive called C. My system drive was D (I tried to change this but no matter how I installed the system it is always D, even if it's the only drive).

     

    Now it works, thank you!
