The installer still uses Program Files (x86) which I need to change.

I'm pretty sure SLX doesn't currently support lms stop/start.  But not
sure,  I stopped using it when Greg switched to the MS store only.  He's
since started building the stand alone installer version, so will check
it out.

Thanks for confirming the PDK stuff.  I haven't given up on squeezecp
yet but it really helps to know it's not unique to my build env.

I don't have cygwin installed I just use 'purpose built win32 versions
of the unix commands' (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) required for
buildme.pl along with the win32 rsync mentioned before.
I've been using these for ages.  Some of the binaries are dated back to
1999!

Thanks that helps.

No problem, I don't need it now.  You've provided the info I need to
continue.
