Can't start a GIT build on Teamcity

I'm trying to configure a build with Teamcity and GIT. Getting the following error during checkout - 

Failed to perform checkout on agent: Unable to run git at path C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\

I've installed msysgit and git extensions and the above path contains git.exe. Any ideas?

I had the same issue because I forgot to install git on the agent.

The solution was simply to install git and restart the agent.

Had the same error after switching VCS Checkout Mode to Automatically on Agent

Explicitly populating Path to Git with the full executable path in the VCS Root solved it.

I've found the solution. I was using the agentside checkout on Teamcity version 7.1.5 with GIT 1.8.3 while using the password authentication.

The Repo URL was missing .git in the end. Being a noob on GIT, didn't realize that was needed and was using SVN style URL. Adding .git resolved the issue.
