Install Wizzard fails if Git is already installed

[trenchbl]

If the user has already installed Git and probably modified the ssh file ( id_rsa ) in c:/users/user-name/.ssh/ the railsinstaller-windows fails to configure its git and thus the installation is not successfull.

P.S.: I'm not sure if I explaint the issue understandably. If you guys need any info, just contact me.

Does this include scenarios where a person has Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 installed with Git?
Because I am trying to install RailsInstaller and I am getting an error when I start the program:

Rails Environment Configuration.

The system cannot find the path specified.

Hm.... I haven't tested it with preinstalled Microsoft Studio with Git. But seems like it ( the MS Studio with Git ) might be the reason for your error.

In my opinion, the cause is that the ruby installer does not override files of an already existing Git installation.

However, I haven't investigated the issue and I'm not sure what's the cause behind it.

In your case just uninstall the Studio and try starting the program. Once you can run ruby, you could just install the MS Studio.

Is this still an issue? If not, please go ahead and close it.
