Can't start coq on Windows. Sqlite syntax error

[OrangeLightning219]

Hi. I just installed coq and according to the instructions I'm running the COQdeps and COQnow commands. COQdeps worked fine but running COQnow throws this error (I'm using python 3.12):

This issue is also (poorly titled) here https://github.com/ms-jpq/coq_nvim/issues/589

The solution is noted in there too, which is basically manually clone the repo with core.symlines=true. Which plugin managers don't do and also because you need admin rights (which is unfortunate for this workaround).

Since this workaround is not practical im currently using a different completer plugin until this is fixed. I think the solution is to remove the symlink stuff because that is too fancy for windows
