Hi Greg. I do not have any other reports like this. Are you installing over an existing installation? Please record the output of:
icacls C:\Users\Greg\Downloads\GetGnuWin32\bin\openssl.exe
attrib C:\Users\Greg\Downloads\GetGnuWin32\bin\openssl.exe
icacls C:\Users\Greg\Downloads\GetGnuWin32\gnuwin32\bin\openssl.exe

This happens on a clean installation.

It appears your installation is corrupted. openssl.exe should not be missing from GetGnuWin32\bin. Do you see any error messages when you run download.bat?

I moved that directory out of the way and ran GetGnuWin32-0.6.3.exe again. I do get an error when I run download.bat:

That's strange. I'm not sure what could be causing that. openssl.exe is used to verify the update, so it's definitely there and working until unzip tries to overwrite it with the new version. Do you have an anti-virus client that could be interfering? If so can you check your logs.

Try extracting openssl.exe from GetGnuWin32\update94d563d1564001.zip and manually placing it in the GetGnuWin32\bin directory

No antivirus installed, however Windows 7 does come with "Windows Defender" installed and enabled by default.

Running handle ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx ) between the execution of openssl.exe and unzip.exe, I see:

handle bin\openssl.exe
svchost.exe pid: 2972 42C: C:\Users\Greg\Downloads\GetGnuWin32\bin\openssl.exe
svchost.exe pid: 2972 61C: C:\Users\Greg\Downloads\GetGnuWin32\bin\openssl.exe

Looking at which services each svchost.exe is responsible for I see:

tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq svchost.exe" | grep -i 2972
svchost.exe 2972 WinDefend

So, a little one second sleep hack should work fine.

Thanks I'll see what I can do about that. I did test on Windows 7 but I don't know if Windows Defender was enabled. I'll try reproducing what you describe some time this week.

Confirmed Windows 7 x64. I'm working on a patch.

I contacted Microsoft last week about this issue but did not receive a reply. However since Microsoft updated Windows Defender yesterday I am no longer able to reproduce this issue. Maybe that's just a coincidence though.

I added an additional check to the update process to ensure all updated files are valid.

If your GetGnuWin32 client was affected by this bug you'll need to reinstall, preferably over your existing installation to save the downloaded package cache. When the installer prompts on overwrite choose 'Yes to all.' When you next run download.bat the update it downloads now includes the additional posterity check.

download.bat
install c:\gnuwin32

Thank you for your report. Please let me know if this solution works for you.

Where do I get the latest installer with your changes? I still see 0.6.3 on https://sourceforge.net/projects/getgnuwin32/files/

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Jay Satiro - 2010-08-05

Hello Greg,

The changes are not included with the installer. There is no need to release a new installer at this time.
After you reinstall 0.6.3, and run download.bat, it contacts sourceforge to download an update which does include the changes described here. After the digital signature is verified and the update is unzipped a list of changes will be in update_changelog.txt

Thanks and good night

Ok, cool.

Running the download and installing again worked for me. Thanks!

There have been no more reports of this issue since I added the additional check so I'm closing this as Fixed. Thanks Greg!
