Looks like the action does not even start on a Windows machine:

Run cachix/install-nix-action@v20
Run D:\a\_actions\cachix\install-nix-action\v20/install-nix.sh
D:\a\_temp\9deaaf18-4fdd-4[6](https://github.com/soywod/comodoro/actions/runs/4700542825/jobs/8335371841#step:5:7)bb-8a67-a4fcdd4ad6ae.sh: line 1: D:a_actionscachixinstall-nix-actionv20/install-nix.sh: No such file or directory
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

@soywod, Nix doesn't support Windows and neither does its installer. It can only be installed on Windows machines through WSL.

If you want to build Windows executables with Nix, you'll have to cross-compile from Linux.

Understood, thank you for you quick reply!
