| msysGit-fullinstall-1.7.9-preview20120201.exe full-installer. Is is at least possible? This installed fucked up my registry and I can't even find an uninstaller. Does someone has an idea how to uninstall Git on Windows? Thank you |

The wrong technical term perhaps?

The trick is to install a different version and then use its uninstaller.
There was a mistake in that particular build.
There have been a number of previous posts on the issue.

Note that the OP is talking about msysGit, not Git for Windows, and
Philip's suggestion only applies to the latter.
The msysGit "installer" actually is a self-extracting archive, and as
such, does not have an uninstaller. To uninstall it, simply delete the
installation folder.
Having said that, AFAIK msysGit does not tamper with your Registry at
all, so it's pretty unlikely that msysGit corrupted it.

Correct. Unless you call add-shortcuts, there is nothing in the registry
that gets changed.
