Extracting on Windows 10

Hi

I’m having a big issue after the installation of Metor on my Windows 10 64 bits

First the extraction metor-tool archive was taking forever so it was stuck on
extracting meteor-tool@1.4.2_6

So after some research, I deleted the 7zip.exe in the AppData meteor folder and installed 7zip myself and replaced the executable.

But no lock, it still takes forever and I don’t know what to do.
I already uninstall/install meteor but I still have this problem

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english, I’m not a native speaker.

You could try the alternative installation method:

github.com

meteor/docs/blob/version-NEXT/long-form/alternate-windows-installation.md

On some network or machine setups Meteor's installer for Windows may fail. In such cases, follow these simple steps to install Meteor manually:

1. Install [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) or any other program that knows how to extract `tar.gz` files.
2. Download the installation archive from https://packages.meteor.com/bootstrap-link?arch=os.windows.x86_32.
3. In a command prompt, run `echo %LocalAppData%\.meteor` -- this is the directory in which Meteor should be installed.
4. Extract the installation archive into the directory above.
5. Add this directory to your PATH environment variable.
6. You should now be able to open a new command prompt and run `meteor`. Some versions of Windows may require restarting your machine first.

Doesn’t improve anything it’s still extracting for ages
