Trying to install on Windows 10

I'm running bake setup via an admin level cmd, but keep getting the message below. Any ideas how to finish the setup?

Hmm, that is strange. Can you try rerunning bake setup with --debug?

If that doesn't reveal anything, you can run the setup like this:

bake setup --local

That will not install anything to your global environment. Instead, the bake environment will be located in ~/bake. With local installs, you'll have to manually set PATH to the bake environment.

Adding --debug only revealed the following of note:

Running it locally makes it available once added to PATH of my cmd. Question though, does bake need to run in vs studio's dev cmd, or should it be able to run in built in cmd or powershell? Seems like I"m able to run bake clone https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs in vs studio's cmd, but not default cmd or powershell. Sorry, Window's isn't my primary machine, but trying to run this on multiple machines.

Bake does need a valid visual studio environment. This sounds like a similar issue as the one reported here: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgxwDrbnzBSgSKnqKNJMpFNFNgjGh (scroll down to the last comments)

TL;DR: bake installs a script which invokes the visual studio prompt for you, but for some reason that doesn't seem to play well with local installs.
