Hi,

Thanks for the feedback and for the patience. We are still working on getting the installation to be smoother. This is the very first situation where we actually have some solutions that work to some extent.

We will write more explicit instructions. Indeed, loading the code does last long.

I see that you are using Windows. In this case, would it be possible to give the 32bit image option a try?

Cheers,
Doru
