During the install of git on windows (using latest version - 2.6.3) I get an error that reads as: --------------------------- Error --------------------------- C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\file.exe
An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory: MoveFile failed; code 5. Access is denied. Click Retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation. --------------------------- Abort Retry Ignore --------------------------- Abort cancels the install; retry tries again - it will fail again; and ignore simply continues. When I go with ignore; the install finishes OK and basic git commands seem to work OK. I'm fairly certain this error due to my workplace's antivirus. I tried simply creating an empty file named file.exe and it failed to do so. I have a file.exe already on my system from cygwin and when i try to run it i get a permission denied. Looking at the manual for file (http://linux.die.net/man/1/file) it gives information on a file; such as last modification, type of file etc. Finally; my question - are there any side affects that I should be aware of if my system is missing file.exe? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
