Is anyone on windows able to test the from-template package?

This is the error I’m getting this on win10

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1288]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\stde\Documents\New folder (3)>raco new gui-app
ffi-lib: could not load foreign library
  path: libedit-3.dll
  system error: The specified module could not be found.; win_err=126
  context...:
   C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\ffi\unsafe.rkt:131:0: get-ffi-lib
   body of "C:\Program Files\Racket\share\pkgs\readline-lib\readline\rktrl.rkt"
   C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\raco\raco.rkt:41:0
   body of "C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\raco\raco.rkt"
   body of "C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\raco\main.rkt"

C:\Users\stde\Documents\New folder (3)>

testing steps would be

  1. raco pkg install from-template
  2. raco new gui-app
  3. reply with error or success and environment details to this message or directly on From-template failing on Windows · Issue #12 · nixin72/from-template · GitHub

Any advice/assistance appreciated.

Thank you. Narrowed it down to (require readline/readline) on Windows & logged an issue.

I’m wondering if I should remove the readline in the short term.
