### Additional Info
After some debugging, it appears the issue is that git-annex looks to see if the file 'wget' is available in any directory on the PATH. on windows, wget is installed as 'wget.exe', and the file 'wget' does not exist anywhere. creating a file named 'wget' works around the issue. (wget.exe appears to still be the file used)
