### Please describe the problem.
|
|
After a clean install of the latest git-annex for Windows (https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/windows/current/), most git-annex commands fail with the following error message:
|
|
|
|
git-annex: System.PosixCompat.User.getEffectiveUserID: not supported: illegal operation
|
|
|
|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
|
|
|
git init
|
|
git annex init
|
|
|
|
Running for example `git annex version` or `git annex info` gives the same error message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
|
|
|
|
git-annex version should be 5.20141024, but the installer does not specify version and `git annex info` does not work, so it is hard to tell for sure.
|
|
Running Windows 7, x64. Also tried running as administrator and in a cmd.exe shell as well as Powershell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Please provide any additional information below.
|
|
|
|
The `git annex test` command does work, and all 84 tests passes.
