<p>I am not sure StackExchange is the place to ask this as it's issue level (which GitHub can take care of - <a href="https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/issues" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/stellar/stellar-core/issues</a>).</p>

<p>Anyways, in the Install-Windows.txt it says to also update your PATH environment variable, did you do this?</p>
