Sorry, I don't have the bandwidth to provide support for direct Windows installations, especially not for the alpha Desktop app. You're on your own. If you're able to figure out a way to get it working, feel free to document your steps in an issue on the electron-archivebox repo (not this repo), but I fairly ruthlessly autoclose any Windows issues on this repo as I can't support it myself on the current amount of donations.

If you don't have the bandwidth why waste people's time by offering it? You just wasted a good few hours of my time trying to get this working only to find this out. Thanks.

There's a reason it says "alpha, not yet ready for general public use".
