Description

I got rawtoaces running on windows flawlessly using wsl (windows subsystem for linux). I made two batch files, one to install everything and another to convert with by draging your raw files onto it.
Until we can get an official windows version, maybe adding these batch files here would help windows users, at least the batch file that helps you convert the file. Or add a link to information on how to install a WSL distro and thus being able to install rawtoaces on windows.

I installed the Ubuntu distro and followed the exact steps as on the front page here except:

- I also install build-essential as I couldn't build anything without it
- I'm downloading aces_container from github.com/ampas/aces_container.git
- I added the curl to download ceres-solver-1.14.0 from ceres's webpage

Thanks for this great software!

Research direction

Review the attached RawToAces.zip and the installation steps on the project's front page, including the Ubuntu WSL and build-essential requirements described here. Document the WSL setup and/or include the batch file that converts dragged raw files, with the installation and conversion flow working for Windows users.
