I'm working on adding Windows support as we speak. Forgot to mention it was only for Linux and MacOS at the moment.

Could you try again @Nycticorax. Windows should be working now.

Better, but you might have closed the issue a bit too early... Good luck!

Can you try again @Nycticorax? It should work now.

Well played sir! Windows now officially supported!

Woups, now the uninstaller fails:

Also can you confirm that the host file is the only system file that begoneads meddles with?

Uninstall should now work.

Another error message. I give up.
