Description

ello, Im trying to install spacetimedb because it looks super neat to me. but I run in this issue. I am in fact running iwr https://windows.spacetimedb.com -useb | iex using Administrator Powershell. I have no idea why this is or how to resolve it. Any hint would be nice. Ideally I don't want to deal with docker / wsl if possible.

Downloading installer...
