GitFlow binaries not detected in 64 bit directory about gitflow.vs HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank for posting this. Actually, the code checks several different items, including the path so it is strange that it didn't find the correct path for your installation (see https://github.com/jakobehn/GitFlow.VS/blob/master/GitFlow.VS/GitHelper.cs)

I need to add some more checks in that code, I have another issue posted as well on a similar problem

from gitflow.vs.

Hi. Had the same issue just now. Assuming the git install hasn't setup environment variables and modified the registry, the problem is that Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) will return "C:\Program Files (x86)" on a 64-bit machine when running a 32-bit app (which presumably is the case for the vs extension). You could add this check to fix the problem:
if (Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem) { var pfd = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey( Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.LocalMachine, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryView.Registry64) .OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion").GetValue("ProgramFilesDir") as string; if (pfd != null) { gitPath = Path.Combine(pfd, "git"); if (Directory.Exists(gitPath)) return gitPath.TrimEnd('\\'); } }

...but my preferred option would be to be able to select the directory where git is installed :)

In the meantime I created a symlink between "C:\Program Files\Git" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git" to allow me to init my gitflow. Love the vs extension. Thanks.

There is already an issue open - #23. I still believe the problem is, that your are running within VS, which is still a 32bit application. check my last comment.

This issues should be fixed with the latest version (1.0.3.0) that I just uploaded. I now check the reg key that is created with msysgit 2.6.1+

This seems to have become a problem again. The extension is not detecting the gitflow binaries even though they are installed. I can use the gitflow commands from powershell, but the extension still thinks gitflow isn't installed. My previous fix no longer works. Are there logs I can look at or troubleshooting steps I can take?

I just got this as well. Using the latest version of visual studio and the extension. Is there a workaround?
