LRN, Yes, I did try that. This is what the install program runs for msysgit, and the install program fails as does running msys from the msys startup icon that is installed. That's how I run msys, but I still have a failure. I did notice this: rem this should let run MSYS shell on x64 rem if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" == "AMD64"( rem SET COMSPEC=%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\cmd.exe rem ) On my windows AMI, PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE is "x86" but PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 is "AMD64". I've tried using PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432, but that doesn't work either. I have a vmware windows instance that both msys/msysgit work on and it happens to be a newer version of windows: C:\msysgit\msysgit>ver Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] but the Amazon 64-bit AMI is 6.0.6002 Not sure if that helps any. Thank you!
