I just worked through this. If there is a iconv.dll in the system32
directory move it aside and see if the control panel works. If it does
then it is due to the fact that the service that is running the control
panel is in the system32 directory and windows always finds dlls in the
same directory as the executable before looking anywhere else.

I found that the "bad" iconv.dll was from Systran and when I moved it to
the Systran directories both the CVSNT control panel and Systran worked
fine.

Good luck! It took almost a week to find this one.

I tried setting the path and running it from the command line as you 
describe above, that did not work.

I've tried version 2.5.03.2382, both Windows installer and Innosetup 
installer.  I also tried 2.5.03.2260, Windows installer. None of these 
successfully installed the control panel applet. Then I tried v 2.0.51d,

from WinCVS, which did work.  However I need the newer version
installed.
