Git annex installation on Windows

Question

I have installed git and git-annex on my Windows 8 to use with git bash. Git is ok, but git bash could not find git annex at first. I restarted my computer and now when it turns on a message pops up saying it cannot find git-annex-autostart.vbs. However the file is indeed at the path the start up script is looking for (C:\Program Files (x86)\Git). Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Answer found: just had to find git-annex.exe (look for the cmd folder under your git installation) and add to PATH:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files\ \\(x86\\)/Git/cmd/./
