buildifier on Windows not working

[limdor]

Issue Declaring a target as follow

buildifier(
    name = "buildifier",
    lint_mode = "warn",
    mode = "check",
    verbose = True,
)

And running it with

bazel run //:buildifier

on Windows in a PowerShell is resulting in not finding buildifier

Additional information: I tried also on Appveyor CI and I have the same issue. I saw also that there are 2 PRs open related to this topic for some time:

• https://github.com/keith/buildifier-prebuilt/pull/90
• https://github.com/keith/buildifier-prebuilt/pull/89

But I could not find an issue. That is why I opened this one to reflect the current Windows status. With the current information I do not know if it is complelty broken on Windows or it is working only under certain conditions.
