installer fails due to msgfmt?

[kenjiuno]

I'm using TortoiseGit on Windows 8.1 (x64) Japanese ver.

msysGit-netinstall-1.9.5-preview20150319.exe fails to install.

Here is output from recent lines:

Hello, dear Git developer.

This is a minimal MSYS environment to work on Git.

Your build failed...  Please fix it, and give feedback on the Git list.

Welcome to msysGit

Run 'git help git' to display the help index.
Run 'git help <command>' to display help for specific commands.
Run '/share/msysGit/add-shortcut.tcl' to add a shortcut to msysGit.

Sola@G45 /git (master)
$

export LANG=C helped to succeed following make and make install commands. However it doesn't complete the setup process?

I continue to get the following message after make install.

Any advice to complete the installation?

You probably do not want msysgit (which is the developer environment for working on Git itself), but Git for Windows (which is the end user environment to use Git, e.g. in conjunction with TortoiseGit). Get the latest Git for Windows installer here.

Thanks, I'll try it!
