I installed msysgit on other Windows machines with no problems. On this Vista 64 bit Ultimate box, I installed the 3 most recent versions of msysgit. On all three installs, when I do a "git bash here", I get exactly this on the command window:

sh.exe": fork: Permission denied
sh.exe"-3.1$

The git command doesn't work. I get the same permission denied message. Any clues as to how to fix this?

Update

Also, when I do "git gui here" - I get:

Cannot determine Git version.

couldn't execute "C\...\git-core\git.exe

Git Gui requires Git 1.5.0 or later

I'm using a version newer than 1.5.0.

The usual way I install msysgit is:

It never failed to work this way.

@Steve: I just saw http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/browse_thread/thread/ae733d166dc4c8fa and I too would like to know the difference between "Git for Windows" and msysgit. I have always thought of msysgit as Git for Windows!
