There has been a regression in Git for Windows 2.6.3 (please *always* state the version when reporting bugs) that requires you to run this installer as administrator manually, else it will install into AppData by default. The other problems seem to be consequences. The regression has been fixed and the next Git for Windows version will install into Program Files again (if your account is equipped with the appropriate permissions to elevate the installer enough).
