I also had this issue, it was to do with my VPN and mingw download not finishing correctly

Yea i think the timeout is set incorrectly on the download, if it doesnt finish in 10m it fails.

wondering if this had been fixed in a commit. Thank you!

[moloch--]

Nope sorry not had anytime to work on this project in a while, happy to accepts PRs though!

Found the issue, if someone already has .denim in User Folder, with mingw-x64 folder, this throws an error. @moloch--

Anyone found a fix? I have tried removing the .denim in user folder still doesnt fix the issue. I am not using VPN. It fails after 5 seconds
