uh, yes, you are right, there are 2 other releases since you wrote this 
mail. windows 7 enterprise, service pack 1, 64 bit
Git-2.3.5.8-dev-preview-64-bit.exe
   $ git --version
   git version 2.3.5.windows.8
the user is non-administrative, which is able to intall apps as admin after 
clicking. i'll install Git-2.3.7.1-dev-preview-64-bit.exe and write again 
if the behaviour is still there.
