Git for Windows Installer hangs #1763

Description

@alperenguman

Git for Windows installer hangs with the green bar complete on a Windows 10 Pro (Build 17134.165).
It's running mkdir when it hangs at the end. The only possible action is to force kill. This results in post-install steps being incomplete.

Immediate observations of aberrant behaviour: Git command not in PATH, not in shell context menu, vim is the default editor despite nano being selected in the installation. Post-install.bat script remains untouched in the program directory.

Options Selected:
Git from the Windows Command Prompt
Use (Tortoise)Plink
Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings
Use MinTTY
Enable file system caching
Enable Git credential manager

Notes:
Tried installing previous versions: 2.17, 2.11 and observed the same behaviour. When uninstalling and reinstalling again Revo Uninstaller is used to make sure no traces of the program remain in the registry.
