I have the same problem described at:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Fisheye-Crucible-questions/Failed-to-setup-git-executable/qaq-p/112217

When I want to set the Git executable on Crucible which runs on Windows Server 2022 Standard I get the following error message:
"Invalid git executable: Unable to get git version"

At the link above, the proposed solutions which are not marked as accepted answer didn't help and the proposed solution which is marked as accepted answer (setting up swap area) is not really understandable. I don't understand where and what I have to set up.

 

The windows account NetworkService which are used by Crucible has the required rights for the path "...\Git\bin".

When I run "git --version" with CMD in that folder I get the correct version.

I also downgraded git to version 2.39.2 which should be supported by Crucible:

By the installation of Git I followed the instructions at:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/crucible/installing-and-upgrading-git-679608571.html

But nothing helped.

Could you help me, please?
