Installer locks up

[CoderX71]

The installer locks up as it reaches the end. Can't close it or minimise the installer, can only 'End Process' via Task Manager.

Only thing I changed in terms of installation options was the install path - A:\Git\

Using Windows v10
Installer: Git-2.21.0-64-bit.exe

$ git --version --build-options
git version 2.21.0.windows.1

Thanks for editing the (really, really sparse) initial bug report.

This is still not enough information, though: have you tried running it with /LOG=<file>? How does your problem compare to #1768 (i.e. is it a duplicate, really)?

I have the same issue.

At the end of the installation process the installation process of Git 2.21.0 (64-bit) on a Windows 8.1 64-bit machine the installation program seems to freeze.

When I opened the Task Manager at this point, I noticed that next to the actual installation process/program running there's another Git related background process active called "Git for Windows".

Terminating that backgrond process (NOT the installation process/program, mind you) in the Task Manager seems to cause the installation process/program to terminate normally.
The "Completing the Git Setup Wizard" dialog appears and I can select the [Finish] button to... well... finish the installation.

Hope this helps you find a solotion to solve this issue.

Hello.

I use chocolatey as a package manager on my dev machine, so this and other packages are updated all in one command.

I cant say I ever noticed any hung ups and works very well.

Maybe its something you may want t consider using instead of plain installer.

I have the same problem with Git 2.22 on Windows 7. It reaches the end and never completes.

Edit: It does indeed seem to be a duplicate of #1768
