Hello guy,

I have to support a collegue with Git Extension.  i Have no idea about how it works GIT but after installing visual studio he receive this error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe" clone -v --recurse-submodules --progress "C:/............................" "C:/...................................."

 

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

   at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)

   at GitCommands.GitCommandsInstance.CmdStartProcess(String cmd, String arguments)

   at GitUI.FormProcess.processStart(FormStatus form)

 

command = C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe

arguments = clone -v --recurse-submodules --progress "C:/Users/xxxxxxxxxx/Desktop/xxxxxxxxxxx" "C:/Users/xxxxxxxx/Desktop/xxxxxx"

 


We tried to uninstall and reinstall GIT Extension but it didn't works, can you help to try to fix this error?



ciao Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,

did you use the full GitExtensions installer (~30MB) or the bare one? The latter does not contain GIT itself and if you didn't install GIT before then that would explain why git.exe cannot be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin.

Please check that you have a working installation of GIT.
