What's Wrong?

I installed the latest version of Claude (Claude Code v2.1.22) on my Windows laptop. However, when I launch or initialize Claude, it throws an error.
I have already installed Git Bash and updated the environment variables for both Claude Code and Git Bash.
Error: Executable not found in path:----
