Thanks for the report. Sorry for the trouble.

It would help to know how you installed the Moddable SDK. Did you follow the instructions here in the Moddable SDK repository or did you use xs-dev? Either is fine, but it might be relevant.

I'll take a look to see if I can reproduce this.

To install Modable SDK I followed the first option (moddable/documentation/Modable SDK-Getting Started.md) using Windows 11 and installed Modable seems to be working perfectly.
For my understanding, the issue can be caused by my previous installation of ESP-IDF. The explanation for "Using the Moddable SDK for ESP32" is not easy to understand and I decided to create an environment variable "ESP-IDF C:\Expressif\frameworks\esp-idf-v4.4" perhaps something else is required. As I told you before the host for Hello World was installed perfectly using mcrun.

My mistake on previous comment I referred mcrun and should be mcconf.

@ffinacio – Thank you for the additional information. I will take a look at get back to you.

Apologies for the slow response. I've had to get another Windows machine set-up for development. That is taking longer than expected (still working on it!)

In reviewing your output, it looks possible that your find command is not the expected one. Is it possible that you have "CoreUtils for Windows" or "GnuWin32" installed? It looks like a workaround for that would be for the mcrun makefile fragment for Windows to explicitly invoke the default Windows find command. If you can, try changing these lines to:

debug: $(ARCHIVE)
	-tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq serial2xsbug.exe" | ($(SYSTEMROOT)\System32\find.exe /i "serial2xsbug.exe" > nul) && taskkill /f /t /im "serial2xsbug.exe" >nul 2>&1
	tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq xsbug.exe" | $(SYSTEMROOT)\System32\find.exe /i "xsbug.exe" > nul || (start $(XSBUG).exe && echo Starting xsbug... && timeout /nobreak /t 7 > nul)
	echo "Running serial2xsbug..." && set "XSBUG_PORT=$(XSBUG_PORT)" && set "XSBUG_HOST=$(XSBUG_HOST)" && serial2xsbug $(UPLOAD_PORT) $(DEBUGGER_SPEED) 8N1 -install $(ARCHIVE)
