Hi,

I had the same problem. I solved it by modifying the INSTALL parts of
the Makefile so that xxx would be xxx.exe -- dumb but worked for the
few installs I wanted to make.

I read I think in one of the release notes that this problem had been
solved in install-sh, but it is not working out of the box in in 19.1,
as you just observed.
