Install mingw and msys to run c programs on windows
I installed MinGW by using mingw-get-inst-20111118.exe and it works but it is very slow!
I don't want to install it online, I remember that I have previously installed MinGW and msys by using two files mingw.exe and msys.exe without using the internet and it was great, but now I cant repeat what I have done and I cant find a link to mingw.exe!
Please, I want a simple steps for better offline installation?
Thanks

I wrote myself a small aide-memoire the other day on how to update (or set up) my MinGW and MSYS installation for building 32 and 64 programs on Windows. I doesn't involve mingw-get so you may have to go fetch any additional stuff manually but I think it includes pretty much all you might need.
It goes like this:
MinGW Environment
- Download the latest 32 and 64 bit MinGW builds from MinGW builds on Sourceforge
eg:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.2/64-bit/threads-posix/sjlj/x64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev2.7z/download
and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.2/32-bit/threads-posix/sjlj/x32-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev2.7z/download
Use the Posix threads sjlj version
- Unzip the 32 bit version to eg c:mingw
- Unzip the 64 bit version over the top
MSYS
- Copy MSys directory from previous installation into c:mingwmsys1.0 or get an updated version from Sourceforge and unzip it.
eg: MSYS-20111123
Add c:mingwbin and c:mingwmsys1.0bin to path

I wrote myself a small aide-memoire the other day on how to update (or set up) my MinGW and MSYS installation for building 32 and 64 programs on Windows. I doesn't involve mingw-get so you may have to go fetch any additional stuff manually but I think it includes pretty much all you might need.
It goes like this:
MinGW Environment
- Download the latest 32 and 64 bit MinGW builds from MinGW builds on Sourceforge
eg:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.2/64-bit/threads-posix/sjlj/x64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev2.7z/download
and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.2/32-bit/threads-posix/sjlj/x32-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev2.7z/download
Use the Posix threads sjlj version
- Unzip the 32 bit version to eg c:mingw
- Unzip the 64 bit version over the top
MSYS
- Copy MSys directory from previous installation into c:mingwmsys1.0 or get an updated version from Sourceforge and unzip it.
eg: MSYS-20111123
Add c:mingwbin and c:mingwmsys1.0bin to path
