My laptop is running Windows 7 Home Basic.

Every time I try to install TortoiseGit 1.6.3.0, it quits about 3/4 of the way through with the message:

An error occurred during the installation of assembly component
{89EDD3A9-944B-3257-8484-D6EB6A00DDF5}.
HRESULT: 0x800736FD

How can I fix this problem?

git
windows-7
tortoisegit

I had this exact same problem on a newly installed Windows 7. After installing Service Pack 1 via the updates it got installed.

This error is most probably because of the lack of a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package

I'm not 100% sure it will fix your problem, but a lot of searches for error 0x800736FD keep referring back to the need to update or install a redistributable run-time package. You could try installing it - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en

It seems to be related to the MSI installer executable, as mentioned in this technote.

A 1935 error is one of the most common problems that can prevent a user from being able to install the .NET Framework, J# redistributable package, Visual Studio or any other application that uses the Windows Installer MSIAssembly and MSIAssemblyName tables to install assemblies. Troubleshooting steps are described in Aaron Stebner's WebLog

So check your .Net framework current setting/version, and see the WebLog for full diagnostics and workaround.

Start the Windows Modules Installer service in services.msc.

TortoiseGit tries to install either a .NET Framework or a Visual C++ redistributable, and the aforementioned service is needed for the install. I do not know any specifics, but it works here.

I faced the same problem.

Installation of Visual C++ redistibutable has not helped me.

What helped me is running of Windows6.1-KB947821-v25-x64.msu. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3132

The tool fixed some mistakes in the registry and I was able to install tortoise.

The problem is quite common. Hope this helps.
