Installer attempts to install 64 bit version of Git for Windows on 32 bit machine

Should check OS bitsize first and then install appropriate Git For Windows package

I agree, and I'd happily accept a PR to add that functionality. 😉

Of course, you can wait on me to find time to enable this but you are the first person to ask for this, that I know of, in 3 years. I'm not saying that you're the only person who'd like to have this feature, but I am saying that it will likely be quite a while before I have enough spare time to implement it. Apologies, but I wanted to be upfront and honest with you.

Fair enough, should be low priority. Can I just go ahead and install the stock 32-bit Git for Windows or have you made modifications to it for the purposes of this project?

GCM works fine with both 32- and 64-bit Git for Windows, the installer just does not know how to download and install the 32-bit version of Git for Windows.
