Just run as an admin user the command below:

choco install -y sming

That should install all needed packages. In the future we may remove the Eclipse IDE as a dependant package.

[kwis2]

with choco install -y sming on fresh system I got

Ok, may be I was not clear enough. But if you are following our updated Wiki guide you will see that FIRST you have to add sming to the list of repositories with

choco sources add -name smingrepo -source 'https://www.myget.org/F/sming/'

And THEN run

choco install -y sming

[R3cycl0r]

I'm having the same issue about "spiffy" also adding first the list of repos and then running installer, what to do?

[kwis2]

@slaff my procedure of windows install looks like below.
fresh VM with win 7 pro with jre8 and 7zip instaled

cmd as admin
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin

then
choco sources add -name smingrepo -source 'https://www.myget.org/F/sming/'

finally in powershell as admin
choco install -y sming

it work fine untill mingw install - it hangs with window with C:\ProgramData\cocolatey\bin\7zip.exe
