How to run the script successfully on windows #426

Closed peerliss closed 3 years ago

peerliss commented 3 years ago

I have installed virtualbox and the extension pack, after pressing enter the second time to review the script configiration the prompt suddenly closes. I have also tried to run the documentation and troubleshoot functions using the command prompt and a virtualbox bash window very briefly opens up and closes. Is there anything I'm missing in order to get this working?

Seems like bash (mintty.exe / Cygwin Terminal) is running non-interactively. Run the default Cygwin Terminal shortcut or run mintty.exe with the --hold always option or make sure bash is running interactively with the -i option.

By default the script inherits the environment's interactive option, because the script can be run interactively or non-interactively. Maybe it should be interactive by default because advanced users who want to run it non-interactively will know how to do that.

It worked after running the script using Cygwin and installing the required patches, previously I was trying to install it using the windows command prompt. Thanks for your help.
