How to run jigdo on Windows 10

Question

I am used to using Jigdo to compile Debian CD/DVD images. Since moving from WIndows 7 to Windows 10, I get the following message when I try to run jigdo-lite.bat:

Jigsaw Download "lite"
Copyright (C) 2001-2005  |  jigdo@

Press any key to continue . . .

I managed to find this comment from someone having the same problem with Windows 8. The link given in the solution is out of date, though. I have also tried updating my msys-1.0.dll file by installing MSYS-1.0.11.exe and copying the DLL into jigdo-bin. The error goes away, but jigdo still refuses to run.

Has anybody managed to get jigdo working on Windows 10?

Visit this link:

The solution in section: "Win8.1 64bit failure":

Download msys-1.0.dll from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Base//msys-core/ , extract it and then replace the "msys-1.0.dll" into "jigdo-bin" folder overwriting the original.

This solution has fixed the error on my windows 10.
