PS C:\Users\user>

• It tries to download from http://nim-lang.org/download/nim-1.4.4_x8.zip Notice the x8.zip ?.
• But theres binary for Windows at https://nim-lang.org/download/nim-1.4.4_x64.zip
• The "C:\\Users\\user\\.choosenim\" is all empty folders.
• It says Reporting to analytics... like 6 ~ 8 times ?.
• With just the --firstInstall option is the same.
• Running on cmd.exe is the same.

Weird that it failed the build.

But that's a separate issue. The first issue is that it gets the nightly filename incorrectly, the code for that is here: https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/blob/master/src/choosenimpkg/download.nim#L272

So this code must be broken: https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/blob/master/src/choosenimpkg/utils.nim#L91

If you think is too uncommon bug, then close it. I git cloned anyway. I just think that maybe the generated URL should have a test.

If you think is too uncommon bug, then close it

isn't it likely to affect other users?

[dom96]

I don't think it's uncommon, but I would appreciate your help in diagnosing the cause and maybe even coming up with a PR to fix it :)

[dom96]

This should be fixed now.
