@tstrangio it looks like something is wonky with your GitHub for Windows installation - perhaps you can try to reinstall?

[patrickmckenna]

@tstrangio Have you tried following the instructions in that pop-up? Or Googling that error message?

Googled, uninstalled GitHub, installed Visual C++ 2014 Redistributable, installed GitHub again....GitHub launches fine now, just doesn't work from the 'Clone to Desktop' ... must be something with my browser cache ...

@tstrangio @garyweston had the same error

[garyweston]

I installed the redistributable and rebooted and it didn't help. I'll try reinstalling github.

Tried clearing Chrome cache - same problem.

Tried using FireFox with a cleared cache - same problem.

Manually browsed to GitHub.exe on my file system (telling FireFox to use that executable when launching the external app after clicking Clone in Desktop) - same problem.

I can clone the recipes repo fine using the GitHub application.. select the +, your ID, select the repo, and 'clone'. That works. Just not working in the web cli

@tstrangio I know you tried to re-install, but were you downloading the latest version first? Chatting with some support engineers, they say that was a known issue and fixed within the last few weeks. Will be good to know if the fix didn't fully work.

This should be fixed in the latest update of GitHub for Windows, but it may require a reinstall. You can also download this redistributable to get things working:

The issue with the 'Clone in Desktop' button not working is something we know about, and we're working on tracking that down. As a workaround you can drag-and-drop a repository's URL directly into the app.

@patrickbm - I downloaded a new version of the GitHub for Windows installer today at 1130am US EST, but I have not yet rebooted

Also, the audio on this session has been in & out for the past half hour .... I'm hearing nothing for the past minute or so.

Audio us back <>

[garyweston]

i'll play with this offline after the class... but having the issue with win git version 1.9.5.github.0 and firefox 31.6.0. Cloning works fine from command line and github win client.

Is there a projected date/version when the fix will be live?
