mingw-w64 installer “the file has been downloaded incorrectly”

Question

I am trying to install mingw-w64 onto Windows. However I receive an error, \"the file has been downloaded incorrectly\". Redownloading the setup file again from sourceforge does

Answer 1

I received the same error. When I re-ran the installer as an adminstrator it was installed successfully.

I also made sure not to add any spaces to the installation path.

Answer 2

The problem is with your internet connection and/or ISP. I'm not great at networking so I'll let others be more specific. I tried installing/downloading it using my mobile's data as wifi hotspot and it worked. Hope it helps

Answer 3

Finally, I solved this problem by downloading this:http://winlibs.com/

GCC 10.1.0 + LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB 10.0.0 + MinGW-w64 7.0.0 - release 3 (LATEST) Win32: 7-Zip archive* | Zip archive Win64: 7-Zip archive* | Zip archive

and set the %path%

After that, I still can't execute gcc correctly, but then I solved the problem by adding this environment variable:

"CGO_ENABLED=1"

I encountered the problem when using this golang package: https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

Answer 4

Old post but same problem, the installer doesn't seem to work.

I give the solution which works for me

You can directly download the archive of MinGW64 with your chosen configuration :

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/

Once the compressed file downloaded, you have just to extract and copy/paste the MinGW64 folder( with the pre-compiled librairies) to your chosen folder ( in my case : C:\mingw64)
