miner not running

[RainbowMiner]

This happens, if the wrong or more than one powershell version are installed. Please check the installed powershell version(s) (Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall a Program).
Best way is

1. deinstall all PowerShell versions, then reboot.
2. (re-)install the actual version: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v6.0.2/PowerShell-6.0.2-win-x64.msi
3. reboot (important)

.. if the problem persists, please tell me.

EDIT: Please download the new master.zip (https://github.com/RainbowMiner/RainbowMiner/archive/master.zip) again. I had a little bug in the setup-wizard, that caused an endless input loop.

EDIT2: after going through the initial setup (normally you will only have to input your bitcoin wallet address(es) and, possibly a miningpoolhub username. At the end of the setup process, choose "X" to exit the configuration. After that, one or two warning messages will appear plus the download process starts. Give this step a little time. As soon as some miners are downloaded, the benchmark process will start.

still not working

Did you reboot after the new installation of Powershell 6.0.2?

Could you send screenshots of what is happening and the list of installed programs?

Check also, that Powershell is in your PATH variable. I had to manually add C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.2 to my PATH after installing the Powershell 6.0.2

Here is a nice tutorial, how to add to PATH environment variable https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/amp/

Thank you. Yes, checking for the PATH is a good idea.
