Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

[SimpleExpress]

On Windows 7 home basic, I can't run ssh-add as it always says "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.". I have tried some suggestions (like this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17846529/could-not-open-a-connection-to-your-authentication-agent) but all were failed. Will you give suggestions, thanks a lot.

I do

• open Git Bash
• Enter eval $(ssh-agent)
• ssh-add $pathToPrivateKey

and it works here.
