I remembered that I need to install Git first, so did that first, 64 bit since that is what is the laptop is. Then when got to install git-annex remembered that it is recommended to install 32bit built of Git instead. Oh well, I left [a comment](http://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/windows_support/#comment-c1b06cae15fbebf97d58f5e7a498b2d2) and proceeded hoping to resolve rsync issue if/when arises. The problem came upon reboot when I got "Windows Script Host" error "Can not find script file C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git-annex-autostart.vbs". Oh well, indeed -- there is no " (x86)\Git" and as described above it was "on purpose". So it feels that some "recommended" value is hard-coded somewhere? P.S. I really hope that someone eventually takes time to make git-annex become available for Windows from conda-forge.

What they say is \"If you installed the 64 bit version of git, then parts of git-annex will still run, however, some features, including tools like rsync, will not work.\" So here was I -- exploring uncharted territories by installing git-annex to see what parts will run and which wouldn't. As I found no other report of the issue I have ran into -- I have filed a new issue instead of staying silent. If you feel that it is something you wouldn't be interested to fix ATM -- I can live with that. But at least others who run into a similar case could find this report, and I guess it would get fixed when that roadblock with rsync gets resolved. + +Cheers! +"""]]
