This is the same issue as #6164.

0.17.2 was recently released, and include fixes for some instances of this problem. Can you try updating to it?

Hi Liam, Thanks for looking into it. But the new release did not fix it. Here is the same message: ``` Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Sorry, the fix I was thinking of was efdb3f6, which didn't make it into 0.17.2 It should be fixed at head, or in the next release.

Are the warnings causing anything to not work? They should be harmless (but annoying).

[pauldelmusica]

Nothing was installed

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand: it looks like you successfully installed bazel, ran it, and it printed help text with some additional warning spam. What wasn't installed?

[pauldelmusica]

I can't find "bazel". What is its default install folder on Windows? You might want to include that piece of info in the README or Install file. Thanks.

bazel-0.17.2-windows-x86_64.exe is the bazel binary. The installation instructions suggest renaming the executable and moving it somewhere on your path: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install-windows.html#getting-bazel

[pauldelmusica]

OK. I see. I thought it were the installation package.
