GitHub Desktop unable to locate Git (although installed), Git Bash (although installed), or Atom (although installed)...

See original GitHub issue

Description

Although I can open and run GitHub Desktop, Git, Git Bash, and Atom all on their own and they work fine, GitHub Desktop is unable to locate Git, Git Bash, or Atom from within the program. (Screenshots below.)

I have checked my registry keys for all programs and they seem to match the recommended settings in previous Bug Reports for similar problems, but I am new to programming and am not 100% sure. I’m obviously missing SOMETHING…

Version

  • GitHub Desktop: 1.2.6
  • Operating system: Microsoft Windows 6.1.7601
