I like Git and here's a PowerShell script that I use to download and install Git on my Windows based development machines.
POWERSHELL:

# Installs git for Windows via PowerShell

function global:install-git {
-
install-file 'http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-1.6.4-preview20090730.exe'
-
}
-
-
function global:install-file([string] $urlPath) {
-
$filename = download-file($urlPath)
-
invoke-item $filename
-
}
-
-
function global:download-file([string] $urlPath) {
-
$urlSplit = $urlPath.split('/')
-
$filename = (Resolve-Path .).ToString() + '' + $urlSplit[$urlSplit.length - 1]
-
$webclient = New-Object "System.Net.WebClient"
-
$webclient.DownloadFile($urlPath, $filename)
-
return $filename
-
}
