Windows 7 Install Error: "cannot make pipe for process substitution"

[ohnosee]

On windows 7 64-bit I've been trying to install a local version. It appears there is an issue with the install script on line 9. Output from Git Bash as follows:

$ git clone git@github.com:c9/core.git sdk
...
$ cd sdk

$ ./scripts/install-sdk.sh

I was able to run the second script setup-local-dev.sh but when launching Cloud9.exe, the program hangs and the console in the dev window returns a not found error for ~/.c9/windows.settings

Googling for this error brings up http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/PATCH-completion-fix-issue-with-process-substitution-not-working-on-Git-for-Windows-td6929795.html Could you try updating you git to a newer version, it works with the latest one (1.9.5)

My git is already at 1.9.5

$ git --version
git version 1.9.5.msysgit.0

$ ./scripts/install-sdk.sh

Could you try to change the first line to #!/bin/bash -ex and comment out updateCore || true line to try to find which part of the script causes this issue

Here's the output from Git Bash after doing that:

Is it because git bash doesn't currently support the line exec > >(tee /tmp/installlog.txt)?

I got the same output from my git bash with versions

$ git --version
git version 1.9.5.msysgit.1

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.23(6)-release (i686-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Then I tried using cygwin instead, and those errors vanished, but I can't seem to run Cloud9.exe...

$ ./build/win32-dev/bin/Cloud9.exe
[6408:0403/230520:FATAL:content_main_runner.cc(720)] Check failed: base::i18n::InitializeICU().

Double clicking on cloud9.exe doesn't open either, and logged an error in the Windows Event Viewer.
