Scala 3 Binaries on windows 7 64x not working

[gruber123]

After changing all files in bin folder to extension .exe
else it run other scala version

This version of C:\scala3\bin\scala.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information
t) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

And there is no msi package as for scala 2

@gruber123 There are no Windows binaries.
Currently you have two options on Windows :

1. develop your Scala 3 projects in a Unix-like environment such as WSL, MingW, MSYS2, etc.
2. install the batch files available from my GitHub project dotty-examples; in particular read the section batch/bash commands.

Since you are working on Windows 7 option 2 should be your choice (option 1 requires Windows 10).

PS. In 2018 I submitted the above batch files as part of PR #5444; I finally closed it due to the lack of interest from the Dotty community.

@michelou That must be a miscommunication. Whenever you open a PR, I will make a priority to get it in. BTW, we have a dedicated Windows machine for testing now.

Let's re-open this issue for a PR to support Windows.
