So I have one machine that behaves quite strangely with the msysgit
preview installer.  None of the git.exe links (e.g.  git-pack-objects.exe)
get installed.  There are no visible errors in the installer, they just
don't show up (and hence Git doesn't work.)

My first thought was that the partition was FAT32, but it is in fact NTFS.
Downloading one of the link programs available on the net proved that
I could make the hard link manually just fine.  I ran it with
filemon.exe, and the installer never even tried to do anything with
git-pack-objects.exe.

Both of the last two previews do this.

On another machine it works fine, and I wound up copying the directory
from that one to the broken one to get it to work.

The virus checker on the machine didn't report any problems, and like I
said, I could make a link by hand just fine.

Any ideas what might be going wrong, or what I can do to further help
diagnose this?
