Hi,
I’m just looking at GIT for the first time, but can’t get past first base.
I’m working on Win XP 2002 SP3.
When I download & run PortableGit-1.6.2.1-preview20090322.exe, it asks for
the installation location, but after I’ve confirmed that location & pressed
OK, it gives me an error message window:
Title bar: “WinGit: MinGW Git + minimal MSys installation: error”
Message: “Non 7-Zip archive.”
When I download & run Git-1.6.2.1-preview20090322.exe, it immediately
complains
Title bar: “Error”
Message: “The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy
of the program.”
In both cases, I’ve downloaded from
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list, and have tried
re-downloading & re-running, still without success.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Angus Monro.

Maybe IE (or something else) is corrupting the downloads.

OK, Successfully installed the Win native app after downloading using IE7
rather than FF3. Still had no success with the portable app, curiously, but
am happy now. Thanks.
Angus.
