This is also described under the [section ".vbs failure" in a forum post](https://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Windows_installation_notes/). + +### What steps will reproduce the problem? +Install git and git-annex according to the [installation guide](https://git-annex.branchable.com/install/Windows/).

For me this is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git". |
