I did so. I got nil. So I added "Eval: (add-to-list 'exec-path "C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin/git.exe")" and that didn't help either.

@Husain You need to add the directory containing the Git executable to exec-path, not the Git executable itself. For magit-git-executable, you'd need to use the path to the executable, though.
