+Are you able to run git commands? IIRC msysgit prompts when it's installed about whether you want to put it in the path or not. git-annex just piggybacks on this path setting. It is installed in the same folder as the git.exe and should work as long as that is in path.
+Otherwise, consult windows documentation to add git-annex to the path, or you can copy the git-annex.exe to somewhere else I suppose.
+
+I built a clean Windows system yesterday and have just re-tested it and it does work.
