Failed to install Etcher on Windows 7
-
The installation is stuck at the half and never proceed even after a few attempt and restart. the .exe file is downloaded from its official website. And I want to flash retropie .img file to sd card.
-
@seesalt I use Win32Disk Imager, and I run it in Administrative mode. Never had any issues, unless the SD card itself was defective in some way.

try the portable version then if you're having problems ... no installation required
https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v1.5.103/balenaEtcher-Portable-1.5.103.exe
or use Win32DiskImager as Libation recommended ... it will do the same job, and it works well (have been using it since i got my Raspberry Pi 1 when it launched in 2012)

try the official Raspberry Pi Imager, you can select what ever OS you want to install on the micro SD card & the latest version is fetched from the appropriate source, very easy to use: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility/

Raspberry Pi Imager now have RetroPIe OS on the Operating Systems list. The only thing you have to do is to choose the correct version and your SD Card. Then the imager will download automatically and install the RetroPIe in the SD card.

Update:
PI Imager on Windows 7 runs fine but stuck at the downloading progress. I managed to complete the task with UUByte DMG Editor.
Appreciated for all the suggestions in above! Have a good day!
