@stale-crayon-83563 - If you are using the Chocolatey (chocolatey.org) package manager for windows, that is probably the smoothest path for the developers. The downside is that they have to get used to working in Linux but the pro-side is that Windows makes it super easy these days to use their WSL2 subsystem.

Have you found #meltano-on-windows channel yet? If one of your developers wants to pilot the process and share feedback there in that channel, it would be super helpful to have their experiences and lessons learned posted there - along with any troubleshooting issues they run into during the process.

That gitlab issue note was perfect, such an easy install from there
