I repeated this step many times without any change. This is correct; you declined to install the GUI component of the installer, so you can hardly reasonably expect to "continue" to a phase in which it is then going to run it. If you don't install the GUI, it is assumed that you will use the command line "mingw-get" to complete your installation. > Then I try to check the box and install the support for the graphical > user interface: this time the first passege terminated correctly and I > came to the graphic interface of the Installation manager; I choosed a > "basic setup" installing everzthing but ada and fortran.

The clue is in the message box dialogue: you have a dependency on libmingwex-0.dll, which appears not to be installed. > I reistall the program may times, with different component selection, > but the conclusion was always the same. > > am I doing something wrong? thanks in advance, Antonio I don't think you are doing anything wrong, but you do seem to have a strange anomaly in your installation. From whence did you download your mingw-get-setup.exe? The copy on OSDN.net is the most recent. What version of GCC are you trying to install? There isn't *supposed* to be a dependency on libmingwex-0.dll, (and I can't find one in my GCC-6.3.0 build tree), but IIRC, there was a build with such a dependency, for a very short period, but I thought I had fixed that long ago. Please ensure that you don't have any old package files lying around, in your mingw-get download cache (usually C:\MinGW\var\cache\mingw-get\packages). As a quick work-around, you may choose to install libmingwex-0.dll ... I see it in the installation catalogue, from the OSDN.net host. A more public spirited option may be to identify the source of the dependency, (Microsoft's Process Explorer, or Dependency Walker tools may help with this), so we can fix it properly, once and for all. -- Regards, Keith.
