I installed git-annex in windows using the file git-annex-installer.exe, and now each time I'm starting my computer I get a message telling me that "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git-annex-autostart.vbs" cannot be found.
This is very annoying and I don't need git-annex to be started at startup. I looked in msconfig.exe and I didn't find any entry for git-annex. Is there a way to disable this?
I finally saw thanks to the file
Build/NullSoftInstaller.hsand to NirSoft Program WhatInStartup that the startup script is located in%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.It would be nice to have an option to activate this or not in the installation.
It seems to me that the real bug here is that somehow "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git-annex-autostart.vbs" either does not exist, or it fails to run it.
Does that file actually exist? It's supposed to be installed the same as git-annex.exe gets installed, in the same directory.
C:\Program Files\Git). Is this required? Won’t this cause problems when Git for Windows updates? That’s why I installed it toC:\Program Files\git-annex, but yeah, the link that gets put intoStartupapparently doesn’t take the real installation directory into account and just uses a hard-coded path…?The autostart file is generated by the nullsoft installer, and uses
$INSTDIR/cmd, it does not hard code any path.It's installed into
Program Files/Git/cmdbecause that is the only way to make sure that git finds the git-annex command when you run "git annex".
