Can't run MAME 0.178

Hi, guys.
After a long time with no MAME using, I got 0.178 and all the ROMS and CHDs and very happy for MEWUI have been merged with the project.
Anyway, with all settings ready, when I start the executable I get only a black screen showing "Initializing" and games don't load... I was considering the size of the pack and waited for HOURS (when I went to bed I left it running hoping by the morning it'd be at that list on the screen at least), but nothing happened... the "initializing" was still there and I couldn't close the window at all, even through Task Manager, so I have to reboot my system... Did that several times and the problem persists...
I'm running it from a external drive but was sure that all the paths were OK, I rechecked them and they look fine to me. Doing some research I thought it was something related to DirectX but my version is up to date. I'm using Win10 x64 and MAME64.
Any ideas?

It worked like a charm, Anime-niac.
But only the web installer. The first one displayed a message informing that I should have a version of Windows from Server 2003 or backwards to get it installed... Strange, since the web one did the trick very well...
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.
