below there is success install choco log
chocolatey.log 2.1.5 method
In my oppinion problem with current coco could be with mingw install dir - choco would like to install mingw into c:\tools\mingw64 folder while on 32 bit win there should be c:\tools\mingw32 Now I have 2 machines with working sming - win7 32 and 64 bit and old, 2.1.5 method placed mingw into c:\tools\mingw32 folder while I am not sure but there is no mingw32 folder with current choco.
I decided to try to install sming on new VM with current choco. In a few hour I should have logs.

install log for latest choco, installed on new copy of same VM as above win7 32 bit
chocolatey.log 3.5.0 method
this time there was problem with 7zip, solved by manual extraction while install hangs.
Finally sming install fail.
in contrast to 2.1.5 method there is old mingw version installed - with mingw-get update there was nothing to update with 2.1.5 method and it works for long time with current choco

some comments, maybe it could help

compare both method - with 3.5 there are
MinGW folder with only mingw-get in bin,
mingw32 with full mingw
mingw64 with only spiffy in bin

with 2.1.5 choco there are only mingw32 and mingw64 folders both with full (~500) MB of mingw.
spiffy and mingw-get are both in mingw64\bin
