Having a mac handy, I'm trying to run the installer using a parallel's version of windows, so feel free to tell me that's my problem... I already had win git installed from git-scm.com. Then I ran the SWC installer and it went through various security options and made it look like it was about to do it's thing when a black terminal window opened and closed fairly quickly. I suspected that having git installed already would cause problems, so I deleted the various git folders and tried again with the SWC installer. Same result. Do you know what might be going wrong? I don't see any icons like the instructions suggest should be on my desktop."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/swcarpentry/windows-installer/issues/comments/188355508","html_url":"https://github.com/swcarpentry/windows-installer/issues/42#issuecomment-188355508","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/swcarpentry/windows-installer/issues/42","id":188355508,"user":{"login":"pschloss","id":1264132,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1264132?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss","html_url":"https://github.com/pschloss","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pschloss/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-24T17:05:57Z","updated_at":"2016-02-24T17:05:57Z","body":"That worked too ... I think I totally misinterpreted how this works ... I didn't have python installed since this is going to be a R-based workshop and I now realize that the installer uses python scripts. If that's the case then I'm sorry for taking you down the rabbit hole. So are we assuming that users will install Python even if they are in an R-based workshop?"}}
