I'm pretty sure you're running into https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/627. Since it's a bug in Windows itself, there's not a fix in Git. Your options are:

- Downgrade back to 11102
- Wait for the next preview build after 14251
- Downgrade to msysgit 1.9.5

I opened the installer, but as soon as the installation finished, the same error dialog appeared. I closed the dialog, but it appeared again, so I closed it again. I opened a "cmd" and entered "git", of course, it crashes and the error dialog appeared.
