UE4 Launch Issues (file libiconv-2.dll is missing)

Hi all,

I am new to UE4 and running into issues when launching the engine. I am receiving a dialogue box from git.exe stating that the file “libiconv-2.dll” is missing.

I have tried to research this issue, so far all the fixes involve copying the file “libiconv-2.dll” to the ‘libexec’ folder, however this is where it was originally in my setup so obviously doesn’t fix the problem. I have re-installed UE4 (5+ hours) and still no fix.

Anyone else gone through this before and know what to do?

PS - Here is my current setup…

OS: Enterprise Edition x64

UE: 4.9.1

Git: 2.5.3-64

Compiler: Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

Thanks in advance,

Shaun

Hi Shaun,

It sounds as though you were able to build the Engine successfully. Are you launching the Engine by running the UE4Editor executable file that was created when you built the Engine?
