I hit this problem: mingw-w64 installer "the file has been downloaded incorrectly" when I download mingw64 from sourceforge. I followed the answer there, downloading . But this file has no binaries that can be executed. I don't know what it does. It looks like a project to be compiled.
How can I simply install MinGW 64 bits in Windows?

mingw-w64 is an open source project and the developers provide source code only. If you're looking for Windows binaries then you need to download them from a third party who builds the source.
There are a few configurable options when building the source (such as threading backend and exception-handling backend) so you will see some differences amongst these builds. Here are some options:
- How to install MinGW-w64 and MSYS2? -- this is the easiest way for installation with ongoing upgradability and support packages. Note that once it is installed you do not need to invoke msys2 to use the compiler , it is possible to just use msys2 for the package manager.
