Hi all!

I wanted to try out ignition Fortress on windows 10, so I followed these installation instructions of the ignitionrobotics website: https://ignitionrobotics.org/docs/for...

I managed to install all the packages in the Conda environment and double checked the library version numbers here https://ignitionrobotics.org/docs/for... to what is installed with conda list. 'ign' is recognized, I do not see 'gazebo' as part of the commands under 'ign help' so I can't try out any of the getting started examples. Also, with any other command, I get the following error:

Library error: ignition-tools-backward.dll not found. Improved backtrace generation will be disabled
Missing resource type (e.g. --type model).

So it seems from the instructions that Windows is not fully supported, however the outstanding ticket as explained in the instructions say that all the packages are now available for Conda , and I was able to find them in the conda-forge channel. I did see that eventhough the ign-gazebo and ign-launch packages exist, they are still failing for window... (see this issue)

I guess that my question is, is it worth it to try to get it to work on Windows or shall I just take the WSL (xserver)/ Native Ubuntu road for now? I just got into ROS/Gazebo again after an few years absence and I would like to get a simulator running reasonable amount, so perhaps somebody in the community has a good view on the state of things.
