Windows 10 Issues: experimental/filesystem and 'your compiler does not fully support the c++17 standard...'

[rdthree]

I've tried just about everything from binaries to the distributions and the python pip in order to get this to work. Compiling from source worked best at the end of the day, however here is the error I get just before it finished installing:

C:\Users\ray\AppData\Local\Temp\luarocks_luaformatter-scm-1-7094\LuaFormatter\test\cpp17\fs.cpp:8:10: fatal error: experimental/filesystem: No such file or directory
