Hi,

we noticed that 'Git' software is not properly detected if custom installation directory is defined.
You can adjust it by adding additional argument in the command line "DIR='custompath'".

Detection method in the publisher has hardcoded path which is being checked.

QuoteComparison="GreaterThanOrEqualTo" Data="2.38.1.0" />
    <bar:RegSz Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" Subkey="SOFTWARE\GitForWindows" Value="LibexecPath" Comparison="EqualTo" Data="C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core" />

What do you say about adjusting detection method to check InstallPath value from the registry instead?

Hey greggoor,

Thanks for reporting this. Git is part of our catalog since a very long time.
We'll look into it to see if there is a better way to detect the app.

Hey greggoor,

This detection rule for Git for Windows should now be corrected.
