No response when running msys2-x86_64-20200522 on Windows 10 64bit

Hi,
I have downloaded the file from the official website https://www.msys2.org/ and am trying to install the mysy2 in my computer with Windows 10 64bit environment.
However, when I click the file, there is no response.
How could I install it?
Thank you very much.

We've a similar report recently but I can't find it right now, and we didn't figure out why.

If all fails you can use https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2020-05-22/msys2-base-x86_64-20200522.sfx.exe and extract it to C:\msys64

Thank you very much. The 2019 version works.

ok, that's good to know.

We are planning to maybe move to a new installer in the future: #3 Maybe that fixes things.

just want to report that I found a/the solution to this

running the installer from my second drive where i have downloads defaulted to doesn't work (same symptoms, nothing happens. not even an error message) but when I moved it to my system drive all was well. something to make note of on the website if not fixable.

hope this helps

I've noticed something and that is, after installation of the program, all of the program shortcuts are connected to a single .cmd file. by executing the msys2.exe in the installation directory I've opened up the program correctly.

I think it will be helpful to handle this issue.

I've managed to solve the problem for myself. The issue did come from the windows cmd which could not be opened (exited with code 1).

I removed the Autorun file in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor directory and it solved my problem. (I have installed and uninstalled anaconda which caused this.)
