Have a look at this thread started by @john_coburg. We resolved a similar issue:

> Hello there @Trying. I hope all is well with you! As you can tell, I had a few days off from this as it was giving me a bit of a headache… but feel i really need to get it done, as i want to start using these Libre2 sensors and stop relying on this extra bit of hardware on my arm (the miaomiao, which needs charging with a unique cable every 7d, making it very easy to get caught out when travelling etc…) I think i got as far as downloading everything, but switching the cmd window to the GnuWin32…

Also, if you are following the same github instructions as mentioned in the above link then make sure you installed the full GnuWin32 libraries, not just the patch executable. As well as included the GnuWin32\bin folder in your PATH environment variable. Also, make sure you are using \ for directory separators if on Windows OS, and make sure you are in the liberlink directory when running the patch command.
