Which version, 32-bit or 64-bit? PortableGit or regular Git?
> and call "git --version" still give me  msysgit1.9.4
And the path was not adjusted at all? That would be strange indeed.

There is explicit code to modify the PATH environment variable when you choose the "from Windows command prompt" option: https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/4fdceef37514d1b35d524a8752ccf4e7ad778f60/installer/install.iss.in#L1163-L1177
Just to make sure, you are certain that the PATH variable is not touched, even if you reinstall (without uninstalling Git for Windows first)?

Ciao, Johannes
