There is a problem with the windows installer package. A program run as part of setup did not finish as expected. COntact your support personnel or package vendor.

Are you running Visual Studio 2012 and have you installed Update 2 for Visual Studio 2012? These are required prior to installing the Visual Studio Tools for Git. 

I would make sure that you have both of those installed first. If that doesn't work try running the installer as an Administrator.

If you need any help with it, check out my blog post on setting up Git within Visual Studio 2012. It covers all the things that you need to get started and where to access them from.

Thanks

to make you sure,  i have visual studio 2012,  Update 2 for Visual Studio 2012 installED. but at first first i installed the VS2012, Update2, and Git for VS but i met a problem during my puches, so i uninstalled the three elements and re start installing them, then the git installation can't achieve successfully. perhaps the uninstallation didn't delete it completly !!!!

Thanks again Rion.

I would recommend trying to re-install the failed components and ensure that you are using running the installers using "Run As Administrator" to see if that makes any difference at all.
