It doesn’t show _why_ it failed. [https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TdBuildWin/builds/163014046#L38-L41](https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TdBuildWin/builds/163014046#L38-L41) chocolatey advises you to look at the logs [https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TdBuildWin/builds/163014046#L53-L54](https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TdBuildWin/builds/163014046#L53-L54) I don’t know how the build later halts, however. I imagine it’s a separate issue. ---

Hi, thanks for replying! I’m looking at the log, till then there’s a minimal repo here [https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TravisWindowsGitInstallFailure](https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TravisWindowsGitInstallFailure) ---

I suggest dumping the logs, as the error message indicates, to learn more about the failure. ---

Here’s a build with the log dumped, but note that it exceeds the maximum build length [https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TravisWindowsGitInstallFailure/builds/163335937](https://travis-ci.com/github/KhushrajRathod/TravisWindowsGitInstallFailure/builds/163335937) ---

Try reducing the log verbosity, or only dump the end of the logs; I doubt that the beginning is helpful. ---

This seems like the error `2020-05-06 18:18:48,540 3112 [ERROR] - ERROR: Running ["C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\git.install\tools\Git-2.26.2-64-bit.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /NOCANCEL /SP- /LOG /COMPONENTS="icons,assoc,assoc_sh,ext,ext\shellhere,ext\guihere,gitlfs,icons\quicklaunch"] was not successful.

The log produced by the `/LOG` option to Windows Git installer should be at `$TEMP/Setup Log*.txt`. ---

That said, why do you install `git` and not upgrade the [preinstalled](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/windows/#pre-installed-chocolatey-packages) `git.install`? Because they provide the same software, they may be conflicting with each other. ---

Sorry, I don’t usually develop for windows, so I didn’t know how chocolatey works 🙂 I’m going to try upgrading git.install and post a log if it fails. ---

Shit! I feared so. You cannot do anything with the system-wide Git for Windows installation [because Travis uses it itself for its machinery](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/windows/#git-bash). You’ll have to install [a portable version](https://chocolatey.org/packages/git.portable) instead – and invoke it with full path after the installation. ---

@native-api Hi, thanks for replying 🙂. I had thought about this earlier, but then I remembered that on a linux/macOS machine you can upgrade bash from within bash. I guess it doesn’t work the same way with windows 😕. I’ll try the portable version and let you know how it goes. Could this be added to the known issues? ---
