title: Beyond Compare 4 as a Difftool for Git on Windows 10 Pro
body: <p>I am trying to setup Beyond Compare 4 (<code>v4.2.3</code>) as my <code>difftool</code> for Git (<code>v2.15.1.windows.2</code>) but I cannot get it to launch. I have followed the <a href="https://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_vcs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions they've given</a>, but it just doesn't work!</p>
  
  <p>My <code>.gitconfig</code> looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[diff]
      tool = bc3
  [difftool "bc3"]
      path = c:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 4/bcomp.exe
  [merge]
      tool = bc3
  [mergetool "bc3"]
      path = c:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 4/bcomp.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run, the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git difftool src\CF1.Charles.Helpers\CF1.Charles.Helpers.csproj
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing happens! I just get the command prompt again.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
