Uh oh, there were some issues with windows in the past, but this is new.

I reccomend you opening an issue in Jetbrains issue tracker, it seems this is unrelated to this project.

The only thing I can say is make sure you have Java installed because it makes use of JVM. But you probably already have it. So I don't know. You could also try on WSL 2 if you have it installed.

A little late to the party but in case anyone stumbles upon this:
When manually installing kotlinc from the GitHub Releases, make sure not to use the archives called kotlin-native-* as those will not work. What you want to be using instead is the kotlin-compiler-.zip
