Description

ssh-keygen is a good tool to make a ssh key easily. But when I use it on window 7 system. It would fail. the callback will not return error object at the same time.

I look up the source code and find the bin which the program use . I click it directly. It throw a error like this

ssh-keygen-error

and I change the bin with portable msysgit bin portalble link using the files like

ssh-keygen-bin

It work again.

I hope the problem can be solved to make the project better
