Comment 3 for bug 692957

Are you running a 32-bit or 64-bit build?

Using the assumption that you are running a 32-bit build:
Is chcp.com located in the "c:\windows\syswow64\" folder?
Does "chcp" work if you run it from the "c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe" executable?
What path results from running "cd %windir%\system32\catroot\..\" from the "c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe" executable?

I unfortunately do not have access to a 64-bit Windows machine and cannot do any testing.

You should be able to work around the problem by copying chcp.com from system32 to the Hugin bin folder and renaming it to chcp.exe.
