If you use a recorded silent installation [*1*], you can choose that option in the recording stage and that should be enough to select it during replay.

For non-Windows users: Git for Windows uses an InnoSetup-based installer that has the option to adjust the user's PATH to either include the entire Git for Windows binaries including all third-party libraries, or just the so-called Git wrapper (it is a lone `git.exe` inside a directory that does *not* add all the `.dll` files that would possibly conflict with other executables on the PATH).

Ciao,
Johannes
