I'm not exactly sure why yet, but sometimes when installing on Windows the path to the git-sim executable does not get set during installation.

For now, the solution is to run a search for the executable git-sim.exe and add it to your PATH environment variable. Then close out of your command prompt and open a new one.

Please give that a try and let me know if it works for you.

Can you try this and see if you can find the path to the git-sim.exe file?

  1. Open command prompt as administrator
  2. Run: dir "\git-sim.exe" /s

That should give you the path to the executable which you can then add to your PATH environment variable.

Let me know if it works!
