MSYS2 installer failed

Trying to install jekyll on windows 7. This is what is shown on the terminal after typing

ridk install

sh -lc true Kill all running msys2 binaries to avoid error "size of shared memory region cha nged" sh -lc true Verify integrity of msys2-x86_64-20241208.exe ... OK Run the MSYS2 installer ... C:\Users\DLSIIS\AppData\Local\Temp/msys2-x86_64-20241208.exe Failed Installation failed: MSYS2 installer failed.

You might download MSYS2 from the official site: https://www.msys2.org/ and run the installer manually. Then you can use 'ridk install' to install necessary tools and to keep MSYS2 up- to-date.

1 - MSYS2 base installation 2 - MSYS2 system update (optional) 3 - MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain

Trying to install jekyll on windows 7

I can't test anything on Windows 7.

See https://www.msys2.org/docs/windows_support/

It might be difficult to get it running, as it may require learning about MSYS2. Also, the doc seems to imply that you may need to install an older version of Ruby. Maybe 3.0?
