Shopify CLI theme dev error

[cobyambrose]

I'm trying to develop Shopify themes locally on Windows 11 22H2. I've installed all dependencies and cloned Dawn to my laptop. Versions according to command prompt are:

• Ruby: ruby 3.0.6p216 (2023-03-30 revision 23a532679b) [x64-mingw32]
• Gem: 3.2.33
• Bundler: Bundler version 2.4.10
• Git: git version 2.38.1.windows.1
• Node: v18.15.0
• NPM: 9.6.3
• Shopify: Current Shopify CLI version: 3.45.0

When running "shopify theme dev" in the Dawn directory, I get this error:

 Any help is much appreciated!!

Try running "set SHOPIFY_CLI_BUNDLED_THEME_CLI=1" first. After that, you can run your Shopify commands normally throughout the CMD session.

I tried this but I still get the same error 😞
