Pico Programming Problem

[macman]

Working my way through installing toolchains in Flowcode, have installed ESP32 which seems to work, so moved on to the Pico one. Followed the PDF installation instructions I hope to the letter and the same version numbers for all except Git. Pico-sdk is installed to the root of C: and its location recorded in Flowcode. (As an aside, the download links in the PDF are well out of date, not a good start for the beginner!). Anyway, why not start of with a good 'ol Blinky...

Needless to say there's a problem, which I hope is something that I've overlooked - this is the report log :

Hello.
Here are the links for Buildtools and Cmake, which I used, it works for me.
I have placed the compiler log within a code block, otherwise, it takes up too much room on the post.

Thank you Martin. Although I had seen and acted on the post you linked to I had presumably made a couple of errors on the way. I'd reverted to previous snapshots of Windows so many times it's hard to know whereabouts. But to cut a long story short, Blinky now exists as a file ready to download to my Pico!
