One of my goals with Cursive was to make this very thing easier, since lein on Windows does seem to be fraught with peril for newcomers and those not accustomed to the command line.

Right, current lein-win-installer works if the the user has wget installed, the logic to fallback on curl is flawed. The newer lein.bat ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/technomancy/leiningen/master/bin/lein.bat) works with regard to the wget/curl fallback. but fails on self-install here. C:

Not to contradict anything that you say, because I agree that "to run clojure you need to install leiningen" is a confusing message, there is an easier way to a REPL, which is Clojure.org -> download. Download clojure-1.6.jar, then run this with java -- something like java -jar clojure-1.6.jar
