Failing to install miniconda on Windows

[jebej]

Not sure how recent of a problem this is, but while reinstalling conda, after wiping it from my .julia directory, I got the following error:

[ Info: Downloading miniconda installer ...
[ Info: Installing miniconda ...
ERROR: LoadError: failed process: Process(`'C:\Users\Jeremy\.julia\conda\3\installer.exe' /S --no-shortcuts /NoRegistry=1 /AddToPath=0 /RegisterPython=0 '/D=C:\Users\Jeremy\.julia\conda\3'`, ProcessExited(2)) [2]

I ran the installer manually with the same settings and it complained that C:\Users\Jeremy\.julia\conda\3 was not empty (which is true since the installer is there). It might be necessary to change the location of the installer exe file.

I have the same problem on Windows and can confirm that changing the location of the installer fixes it (e.g. from .julia\conda\3\installer.exe to .julia\conda\installer.exe)

See #231 for a potential fix.
