Tilt v0.26.0 does not work on windows

[drano]

With 0.26.0 version, tilt starts and stops immediately without error messages

Oh no! We added some new dependencies in 0.26 which are most likely the cause of this issue. If you could please use 0.25.3 for the time being until we get a new version released that we verify works on Windows. Thanks for the report!

I was able to tilt up on a basic k8s project on Windows 10 with 0.26.0 (our tilt-avatars project). Would you be able to provide more info about your setup? Are you able to run tilt doctor with 0.26.0? If not, can you run it with 0.25.3 and provide its output here, along with the Windows version you're using?

FYI, my tilt doctor output on my Windows 10 system looks like this:

I was using Docker Desktop 4.3.2, but same problem with docker desktop 4.6.0

Sounds like the issue is that we compiled with Mingw but didn't specify static binaries, so tilt.exe is looking for some msys2 .dll's like libgcc_s_seh-1.dll. We'll release a new 0.26.1 version of Tilt shortly.

[nicksieger]

This means that another workaround that you can try to fix the issue is to install msys2.

[drano]

Actually, I can use locally 0.25.3, and I ask to my team to not upgrade with the latest version (we are using scoop to update)

[nicksieger]

Please try 0.26.1 and let us know if you have any problems with it!
