To be exact: It's not the .nimble Dir, it's the bin Dir inside .nimble. Create /.nimble/bin before using choosenim and the command choosenim stable --firstinstall is running without any warning on Windows 11

Faced the same bug on Windows 10. Just run again choosenim-0.8.2_windows_amd64.exe stable and this time dlls was copied.

I ran into a bug caused by this where nimsuggest fails to launch because it can't find pthreads, solved by manually adding mingw64/bin to my path. Would be really great if this were fixed, caused a couple hours of wasted time. Not sure if this is the source of my issue?

@creikey afaik that's a separate issue. Choosenim only installs these DLLs http://nim-lang.org/download/dlls.zip. If nimsuggest requires that DLL then it should likely be included in that zip. Can you make an issue in the Nim repo about it?
