I don't use Nim too often in windows. I think I have a mess up installation.
I am playing with libxlsxwriter. In order to get the required DLLs I used msys2. Then I spotted that for some reason my Nim binary was the 32bits one, and the only way to generate a working binary was within msys2. I want to change that so: 1. I downloaded choosenim. v1.4.6 installed successfully
