Installation of 64bit could complete, but running Git GUI always prompt the error below: Couldn’t read file “C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\mingw64\libexec\git-core\git-gui”: no such file or directory

I can confirm this on the same setup (W10 64bit git 2.5.2) Long <gimmely <at> gmail.com> writes:

Please see the corresponding ticket: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/376 In short: I will release an updated installer soon, with other fixes. In the meantime, as a work-around you could right-click on the Git GUI shortcut (you can right-click the icon in the Windows menu and open the file location to get there), select Properties... and change the Target: from "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git-gui.exe" to "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe" gui It will open an ugly, unnecessary console until the next Git for Windows version is available, but at least it will work until then. Out of curiosity: how did you go about finding the best place to report this bug? Ciao, Johannes

Dear Diaoul, it is considered rude on this mailing list to top-post, and likewise to cull the Cc: list. Please do not do that. On 2015-09-12 11:34, Diaoul wrote:
