 <p>Here's the simplest solution:</p> <p>Assuming that you installed some up-to-date version of Perl and it is already in PATH, simply go to where GIT executables are is, which is normally </p> <pre><code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin </code></pre> <p>and <strong>rename <code>perl.exe</code> to <code>perl1.exe</code></strong>. If you really are so unhappy about this, rename it back after you're done with whatever is getting the problem.</p> <p>Why does this solve the problem? Because your program will not find perl in GIT's directory, and will try to find it somewhere else, and since your have the latest version of Perl in PATH, it will find it and everything will workout.</p> <p>PS: It worked with me :-)</p>
