Installed latest Git LFS but still asking me to install.

Question

I went here and downloaded the latest 2.71:

https://git-lfs.github.com/

SourceTree keeps telling me that a newer version of Git-LFS is available.

Am I misunderstanding something or installed the wrong product?

Is there an embedded Git-LFS that I need to update instead of downloading the latest from git-lfs.github.com?

It looks it was my mistake?

Do I need to click on Update Embedded ?

Embedded Git version 2.17.1/LibGit2Sharp 0.24.0 + git-lfs v2.0.2

I tried to Update Embedded, but got this error.

I tried running SourceTree (run as administrator), but same error message.

Hello! Could you open Options > Git and report back with the detected versions of git? Thanks!

Hi @sunk818,

Git for Windows now bundles the latest version of Git LFS automatically which is why you're being recommended 2.20.1. That said, it sounds like a bug in our LFS version check and I'll ping the Windows folks to confirm.
