These docs don’t really work for windows…

Please provide corrections (you can paste in this thread) and we will incorporate in the docs.

ok
you really need to do an install from scratch to get all the issues but…
a)
```auto
curl -L https://github.com/drone-runners/drone-runner-exec/releases/latest/download/drone_runner_exec_windows_amd64.tar.gz | tar zx
sudo install -t /usr/local/bin drone-runner-exec
```
these are linux commands not windows commands
b)
drone-runner-exec isn;t a windows executable - it needs to be renamed drone-runner-exec.exe

we are not windows users, so if you can provide the commands we can update the docs.
