   Same here
   @yumeyao you must have meant _1.8.1.2-preview20130201_

   This has probably already been fixed [1], otherwise please clarify what you mean by "not working".

   As a workaround, you can add \cmd to your PATH or install with the "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt" option.

   An installer including this fix and a few other changes is available here: [2]

   For me it was missing git/bash entries in mouse context menu.
   Didn't have time to check anything more, so I just installed the previous version.

   @kblees thanks for the info.

   Just chiming in to say I had the same experience. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled 1.8.3 with the Git Cheetah option on Windows 8 64-Bit and could not get the context menu items to show. After seeing this post I uninstalled and then installed 1.8.1, which works just fine the first time.

   @kblees Unfortunatly when I try to install the version you have given, my anti-virus scanner detects bash.exe as Win32:Evo-gen. It could be a false alarm, but it still worries me.

   @aurril if it is Symantec: sorry, you're out of luck. Symantec has an impressive track record with me, personally, for making it impossible to fix their misdetection. Basically, you have the choice: use a Symantec anti-virus, or use Open Source software compiled with the GNU C compiler. You cannot have both.
