I just tried installing Zorba on an AWS Windows 2008 Server instance using the Zorba 64-bit installer I downloaded from http://www.zorba.io/download.

After I installed it, I opened up the command line and typed:
zorba -q "1+1"

I got the error message “The program can not start because libiconv.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem”.

By default the installer installs the software in the "Program Files (x86)' directory. I am not sure if this is OK or not. I tried installing it in the 'Program Files' folder but there was no difference. I am still getting this error.

I had a similar issue and I've been searching for it a long time.
What worked for me was renaming the iconv.dll library in the bin folder to libiconv.dll.

Brilliant, renaming 'iconv.dll' in the 'bin' directory to 'libiconv.dll' did the trick for me too!  Thanks so much, Cheers, Tony.
