Here we go... I tried GitMe-3.exe.

I have two 'crashes' during installation. I attached snapshots
of the requesters. I don't know how to copy text from the
installer. Therefore I attached snapshots.

As mentioned before, I run in a virtual machine, Parallels to be exact.
I use my Windows installation rarely but I did not have any problems
with Windows in Parallels before.
