Note that the Windows manual installation requires Visual C++ redistributable to be installed. See below for how to install it.

Download the launcher from GitHub release assets with

If you get an error about MSVCR100.dll being missing, you have to install Visual C++ redistributable. A valid version is distributed with the Scala CLI launchers. You can download it here, and install it by double-clicking on it. Once the Visual C++ redistributable runtime is installed, check that the Scala CLI runs fine by running its version command:

scala-cli version

Note that the commands above don't put the scala-cli command in the PATH. For that, you can create a directory, move the launcher there, and add the directory to the PATH with

md "%USERPROFILE%/scala-cli"
scala-cli add-path "%USERPROFILE%/scala-cli"
move scala-cli.exe "%USERPROFILE%/scala-cli"
