    Description

      I downloaded the setup "SourceTreeSetup_1.6.23.exe" from the atlassian website.
      The installation process with administrator rights works fine (shows no error).
      I configured the openSSH Client and my id_rsa file.
      If I start the software now I'll get an error:
      ---------------------------
      Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten
      ---------------------------
      'ssh-agent' ist fehlgeschlagen mit Code -1: System.Exception: Unable to to start 'C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\bin\ssh-agent.exe' check the git installation.
      ()
      ---------------------------
      OK
      ---------------------------
      If I look in the folder C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_local\bin\ there's no ssh-agent.exe.

      Workaround:
      I converted my OpenSSH key with the Putty Key Generator into a Putty keypair. Then the error is gone.
