Hello,

I encountered the problem that when I try to install itch app on Windows 10, the installer gives me the following error:

"Can't run code because libwinpthread-1.dll could not be found. Try to reinstall this programme to resolve the problem."

I don't want to download random dll libraries from the interwebs... does this problem maybe have a solution that would be reliable and safe? (Also, I tried with disabled antivirus, that didn't matter... probably not a huge surprise if you ask me).

Thank you for advice, have a nice day everyone!

I also get this error.
Reproduction steps:

• Download the installer from: https://itch.io/app
  (This gives itch-setup.exe with md5sum of 7850a1a24304c3e63738ff959877e30e )
• Run on Windows 10.0.18363.900
• Following dialog appears:

Dependency Walker shows the dependency:

EDIT: reported on github: https://github.com/itchio/itch-setup/issues/13

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this, although I don't wish for this to be happening to you all. :))

I really don't want to download random internet stuff and put it in my system folder, so I'll wait for the installer to be repaired... Also, my friend tried to install itch today as well - it worked for him just a while ago - and it had the exact same problem.
