Thanks for reporting! Unfortunately I won't be able to look at this issue for a bit, but in the meantime, if you would like to download the pre-release Windows installer (it should be the same version as the most recent conda package) you can find it here!

Thanks,

Having the windows installer is great. I installed and start using it. Thanks Ofra

Closing this, as the formal release process has moved to the platform installers on Github Releases
