Intentional? I have tested it on using WinPython[1] 3.6.1 & 3.5.3. WinPython is built out of the "standard" python on Windows. Judging by the error, the problem is on the temporary folder used as target. For some reason, Git uses $HOME as a prefix to the temporary folder selected by `pip`. My home in the above case above is this: /cygdrive/d/Work/ALLINONES2/co2mpas_AIO-v1.6.0/CO2MPAS Thanks, Kostis [1] http://winpython.github.io/
