Windows Executable from Releases doesn't install. It just hangs. #1040

Trying to install shfmt on Windows 10 Pro x64 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.3448). Using this binary: shfmt_v3.7.0_windows_amd64.exe

When I open the executable, all I see is a blinking cursor:

shfmt_v3 7 0_windows_amd64_lzJtwcrJod

What am I doing wrong? How can I get this installed?

Thanks so much.

We publish the shfmt binary itself, not an installer for it. If you just run it directly, it reads shell script from standard input, so that's what I suspect is happening here with the terminal waiting for you.
