* Newbie installation problem: non 7-zip archive @ 2009-03-28 1:13 Angus Monro 2009-03-28 13:17 ` Michele Ballabio 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Angus Monro @ 2009-03-28 1:13 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git 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. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Maybe IE (or something else) is corrupting the downloads. http://brucewagner.wordpress.com/2006/12/15/the-setup-files-are-corrupted-please-obtain-a-new-copy-of-the-program/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Still had no success with the portable app, curiously, but am happy now. Thanks. Angus. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
