http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/ This seems to be the only place to get these "ezwinports" that I never needed before. When you download it it just provides libcrypt. If you go into files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files There is no libiconv. It mentions it, and links to a mingw port of it. I have this already though. Maybe its late in the day but should I find it odd.. adding a library to the PATH? In summary, this just does not work. Even when I do add the path to the downloaded iconv: libiconv-2.dll I still get the same unhanded exception. Looking at the two version 24.3 Vs 24.5 I cannot see anything that has changed. So why the need for libiconv all of a sudden. This, to me, seems like a regression of sorts. Cheers.
