I know it's a path/dir/install issue of some kind and I'm continuing to fiddle with the env variables/settings you mentioned (I assume it can't find winrt-runtime for some reason). I've even tried setting "for "Runtime_Dir ("Ada")" without luck so far.

Hi Greg

Also, if you run "gnatls -v --RTS=Winrt_Runtime" after the build and install
of the Winrt Runtime, It will confirm correct installation. Here is the output
from my default MSYS2 environment

C:\>gnatls -v --RTS=Winrt_Runtime
