CSV Import

[GT-I9070 H]

Hi Geert,

Congratulations for your great work!   : )

I'm willing to test the new CSV importer.

I downloaded the last three versions available
(gnucash-2.6.99-2017-03-25-git-cd07876 + -setup;
gnucash-2.6.99-2017-03-29-git-b3eb9d0 + -setup and
gnucash-2.6.99-2017-03-27-git-2b777b9 + -setup) on the link you reported
and installed on my VM W10[14393] and all gave error.

All complained that icuuc57.dll and pthreadGC2.dll were missing, I found
pthreadGC2.dll on my 2.6.15 installation and icuuc57.dll on the internet,
copied it to the faulty installation and it still did not work.

Why does not it work?

Regards
GTI
