GetPossiblePathsToGit() always fails

[timjarsky]

Description: Create MIES version can't find the git executable because the file paths in GetPossiblePathsToGit() use two semicolons when a single semicolon should be used.

e.g.,

paths[4] = "C::Users:" + userName + ":AppData:Local:Programs:Git:cmd:git.exe"

Additionally, instead of hardcoding the paths, why not use: getenvironmentVariable("PATH")

Igor Pro Experiment/NWB files can be attached as zip file if needed.

The following contains installation information (keep unchanged):

I've added a fix.

Additionally, instead of hardcoding the paths, why not use: getenvironmentVariable("PATH")

On Windows you can install git without it being in PATH. So I figured it is not worth the hassle.

@t-b It would have prevented this bug, tho.

Okay ;) let's try plain git as fallback. We don't need to check PATH as this is done for us.
