Answer 1

Logging: This appears to be an INNO setup. Try to log it with:

Git-2.27.0-32-bit.exe /LOG

Then find the log file in the TEMP folder (sort it by modify time until you find the log file at the top).

I have a generic check list / ideas list for failing setups here. Check the "Generic Tricks" section for some suggestions. Here are some of the points as recommendations:

• Re-download the setup and virus check it. Quick malware scan of problem box.
• Verify disk space and check for disk errors on problem box.
• Temporarily disable your anti-virus during installation.
• Now try to log your setup as described above - on the problem box - and check for errors.

Further alternatives:

• Try to create a new admin account on problem box and install with a freshly downloaded and verified installer.
• Install on a virtual to make sure the install can succeed in your environment.

First, as a workaround, you can at least simply uncompress PortableGit-2.27.0-64-bit.7z.exe, anywhere you want, and set your PATH:

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

The other test you can do is simply to check if the issue persists with previous version of Git for Windows.
