Ah, so it is not a "hang" but more like: it does not do anything else than
wait for your user input.

>From your second screenshot, it looks as if the error is:

	bash: reg: command not found

And the culprit is of course:

	https://github.com/openspim/micromanager/blob/openspim/openspim.sh#L12

Seems that the "reg" tool is not as universally present as we originally
thought!

So can you please do the following:

- overwrite the file openspim.sh in your OpenSPIM-Dev-Env's etc/profile.d/
  subdirectory with this:

	https://raw.github.com/openspim/micromanager/for-alexis/openspim.sh

- start the "git-bash" Batch file in your OpenSPIM-Dev-Env

It should now do many, many more things than just complain about the
absence of Visual C++...

Once you report that it is working, I will make this part of the 'master'
branch and make a new dev-env installer.

Thanks!
