It’s common on Windows that you need to add PHP, MySQL and the Gitify executables to the PATH.

Common locations of the PHP executable on windows include:

c:\php\php.exe
c:\php5\php.exe
c:\windows\php.exe
c:\program files\php\php.exe
c:\wamp\bin\php\php5\php.exe
c:\xampp\php\php.exe
<ampps root>\php\php.exe
