I'm installing http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-1.6.4-preview20090729.exe: I should have been more accurate. But each time I reported on this package, it was on the preview.

I believe it's preview, not full, not net. My download size is 11.3MB and the md5sum is 16F1AB9CBFB75553DC19C3B17BB96C57

I believe we're both on CET :)

no, I did not use the net install, nor the full install. I can see from the wiki the net installer is a 1.8MB download.
??? libcrypto and libssl *are* in the package preview...
It's actually quite funny, but I guess I've seen it all on Windows: all the binaries are here with their libraries until the setup complains about core.autoCRLF. After this stage, git.exe gets deleted... And it's not a virus triggering this (I checked).
I managed to quickly copy it before it got erased, and manually added it back after the setup completes. It works.
I'll not try the full install; at least from my point of view, it's a regression on the *preview* package, which I'm using on a daily basis.

let me know if it's not yet clear enough: I'm tired too, almost 1am :)
