Hi,

I=92m just looking at GIT for the first time, but can=92t get past firs=
t base.

I=92m working on Win XP 2002 SP3. =A0

When I download & run PortableGit-1.6.2.1-preview20090322.exe, it asks =
for
the installation location, but after I=92ve confirmed that location & p=
ressed
OK, it gives me an error message window:
=A0=A0=A0=A0 Title bar: =A0=A0=93WinGit: MinGW Git + minimal MSys insta=
llation: error=94
=A0=A0=A0=A0 Message:=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=93Non 7-Zip archive.=94

When I download & run Git-1.6.2.1-preview20090322.exe, it immediately
complains
=A0=A0=A0=A0 Title bar:   =93Error=94
=A0=A0=A0=A0 Message:=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=93The setup files are corrupted. =A0=
Please obtain a new copy
of the program.=94

In both cases, I=92ve 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.
