Issue

I'm getting an error when running a clean install on Windows 11. After following the Getting Started guide, when getting to the end and running

pixi shell -e jazzy

I get the following warning: WARN Could not find activation scripts: C:\Users\daniel\robotest\install/setup.bat.

Indeed the setup.bat file and the install folder is not there- however, commands such as ros2 work fine so I'm not sure if this is actually important. So maybe this is just something missing with the Getting Started guide?

Installed packages

#tried using 'pixiv list', but
#full list is too long to paste, but it's a default install following the guide
