Raspberry Pico not working

[dogito]

I downloaded Visual Studio, Python, cmake, Git hub, etc and still can not get the Pico to communicate with Flowcode. I do push the Bootsel button on power up as well.

This is what it kicks back:
C:\Users\amdnr\Documents>REM DIR: FCD\PICO\batch\pico_build.bat
Building Flowcode3 ...
The system cannot find the path specified.
'cmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV9\FCD\PICO\Batch\pico_build.bat reported error code 0x1

Flowcode appears to be a great concept but the program seems unfinished and disjointed...from the license that sends you back time and again to the website to problems downloading modules to downloading github, python from here and there...oh well...

Sorry you are having problems installing the PICO toolchain. For the PICO, we have to rely on 3rd party installers and so we have little control over the installation and setup process. We have found that errors like this are often caused by installing the wrong version of the installer or installing to a path which the 3rd party compiler has problems with.

I've searched our forums and there is a similar issue described in the post link below which seems to have been resolved, so you may want to try the instructions there:

Please let us know how you get on, or if you are still having issues.

Regarding your other issue - "the license that sends you back time and again to the website" - can you please give some more details?
