Howdy Johannes, thanks for the speedy reply.

Unfortunately I have hit refresh many times in previous attempts.

Notwithstanding, the dialog maintains the error condition claiming pid 10128 must be closed prior to install.

I'm a big fan of Git but not a Windows fan in the least.

I have downloaded the latest Windows git and killing as many apps and pids possible after Windows restart the installation goes south nonetheless.

Please advise.
