Are you trying the release or the daily snap shots?
Try the other.
I was able to bring up gshcem when I built the release files a few months ago.
Don't know the status of the snap shots right now.

What was it doing for you?

So far there have been other priorities for me, so I've not gotten to

I'm sure that applies to the others with interest in Windows as well.
