Problem installing MSysGit (libiconv-2.dll is missing...)


I'm trying to install MSysGit using the netinstaller and when I run the netinstaller an error pops up:

The program can't start because libiconv-2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

After searching a bit, it doesn't seem like many people are having this issue during installation; only later on.

This is a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install so if the installer is working, it should've worked here. Anyone had a similar issue or know what I might be able to do to fix this?


Solution

  • This question was also asked on the msysGit mailing list, where the msysGit developers (including yours truly) hang out. As a consequence of that mail, I fixed it.
