Can't install Sourcetree on Windows 7

Question

So I'm trying to install Sourcetree but after selecting Bitbucket on the Registration step, even when it opens the browser with the link to authorize the app and it says I can close the tab not, the installation proccess goes back to the same registration tab with the 2 options and it wont continue.

What am I missing here?

Thanks, it worked for me too.

Sadly, it seems that SourceTree can not be installed on computers without an internet connection. Not installed = not used.

I solved by it installing an old version.

Here it's a solution that works for me.

You need to enable TLS 1.2 protocol (it is disabled by default on Windows 7.)

An article explaining how to do this:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-wi

So you can either install MS update or manually create a registry key using regedit:

Registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client
DWORD32 name: DisabledByDefault
DWORD32 value: 0
