...on your machine.  It's a fair question.  But also one that may
require more input and action by you to resolve.  I'll offer a couple

Here it seems like you're pointing at Windows 7 x64.  FWIW, I have installed
on this platform no problem.  Well, of course, I'm not the only one.

That's my best suggestion.  Also, what did you reinstall?  You're looking
for libgcc1.  You might want to reboot after for good measure.  And then
