Also reproducible with chocolatey which downloads/runs https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/2.2.0/bin/lein.bat.

Hi,
you're trying to use the lein.bat from Github's master branch - there is no release JAR for this version. Please use stable/lein.bat - this should work (it's version 2.6.1, while the one on master is 2.6.2-SNAPSHOT).

And for the other one.. 2.2.0 is very old (nearly 3 years), I'll see who we have to poke there to get a newer version into chocolatey.

Ah, thanks a ton!

And yeah -- wow. Chocolatey does need to be updated... such is life on Windows, I suppose.
