During installation I received the following error:
This script will setup the CNTK prequisites and the CNTK Python environment onto the machine. More help is given by calling 'get-help .\install.ps1' in your powershell environment.
The script will analyse your machine and will determine which components are required. The required components will be downloaded in [C:\local\Scripts\windows\InstallCache] Repeated operation of this script will reuse already downloaded components.
- If required VS2012 Runtime and VS2013 Runtime will be installed
- If required MSMPI will be installed
- If required the standard Git tool will be installed
- CNTK source will be cloned from Git into [c:\repos\CNTK]
- Anaconda3 will be installed into [C:\local\Anaconda3-4.1.1-Windows-x86_64]
- A CNTK-PY34 environment will be created in [C:\local\Anaconda3-4.1.1-Windows-x86_64\envs]
- CNTK will be installed into the CNTK-PY34 environment

I'm not familiar with powershell, so I am not sure where to go from here.
Couple of questions. Are you using beta1 or beta2? If you are using beta1, just a reminder that there is a beta2 now available with bug fixes and also some improvements to the install script, but I don't think this particular problem has been addressed!
It looks like the clone of the cntk git repository is failing.
Was Git installed on your machine? Is there a GIT.EXE in c:\Program Files\Git\bin\?
I think the install found an existing git.exe (in a different location), and is now trying to call it at the 'wrong' location.
The easiest workaround for you (if you have git installed), from a command prompt:
cd c:/
md \repos
cd repos
clone --branch v2.0.beta1.0 --recursive https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK
If you have moved to beta2, replace the v2.0.beta1.0 with v2.0.beta2.0
