Could not parse git.exe version number

Question

I keep getting a popup in TortoiseGit: "Could not parse git.exe version number." when ever I try to do anything... I have setup git 1.8 and linked it (through settings) into TortoiseGit but it's being painful.... I have the exact same versions of git/TortoiseGit on my laptop (also windows) and it worked fine with no problems =.= my windows is a fresh install too.

Answer 1

If the path to git.exe is C:\msysgit\msysgit\bin\git.exe then you have to enter C:\msysgit\msysgit\bin as git.exe path and C:\msysgit\msysgit\mingw\bin into "Extern DLL Path" (because otherwise some mingw dll can't be found).
