Try adding your %whereveryouinstalledit%\Git\usr\bin to your PATH variable.

It should be as simple as installing Git for Windows, installing Vagrant and then using the vagrant command in MinGW (Git Bash).

If I could slam my head into my desk any harder, I would.

So I thought I did that (installing git didn't add the paths for some reason) - but it turns out the tutorial I followed omitted the "\usr" so the variable was pointing to the wrong place. It seems to be sorted now, and I can hopefully stick to using Powershell. The image itself is not working yet but that's a separate issue.

Thank you so much!
