GitExtensions configuration error

I installed GitExtensions for the main purpose of using GitHub with my visual studio 2010. When I start GitExtensions, I get 2 errors in my checklist, as well as a startup error that says: Access to path 'c:\program files(x86)\GitExtensions\.gitconfig' is denied .

There is no .gitconfig file in this directory. This will not allow me to set up the necessary information, such as my name and email address. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

It should not look for .gitconfig there.

It should be in C:\users\username\.gitconfig Make sure you have the setting as shown below:

This is probably due to a known bug in the latest version of Git Extensions. The bug has already been fixed, but the new version has not yet been released. You can download the latest release: http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/downloads/detail?name=GitExtensions222SetupComplete.msi

You can also fix this by manually translating the .gitconfig file from c: \ program files \ gitextensions.gitconfig to c: \ users \ username.gitconfig. GitExtensions will detect the new location and will use it.
