Does anyone have any pointers except the documentation for building Anki on Windows? I believe I have followed all steps in the documentation but my builds (unmodified source from 2.1.62) keep failing at the Mathjax for aqt step:

It works for me in a fresh checkout. What happens if you remove the node_modules and out folders then try again? Do you have any spaces in the path you checked out the folder into?
Same result with node_modules and out removed and also with a complete fresh clone. There are no spaces in the path. I guess it has to be something in the system build environment, I just don’t know what. For summary, my build environment:
rustup installed (1.26.0 with rustc 1.69.0 however that is overridden to 1.68.2 in rust-toolchain.toml)ninja 1.11.1Visual Studio no, but Visual Studio Code yesmsys2 installed to default folder with $ pacman -S git rsync executed
As side note, I am using PowerShell as shell for build, I’ve tried switching to Ubuntu WSL but that messed up platform detection.
I received a similar error message in the past, but there were also
thread ‘main’ panicked at 'failed to run command: “rsync”
Error Log
[2/2; 1 active; 10.256s] build:run_configureRUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace
After installing rsync with $ pacman -S git rsync from the docs, the build was successful.

If you’ve confirmed that rsync is indeed installed and the issue persists, the next step would be to edit run.bat to change tools\ninja to tools\ninja -- -v, which will cause it to show you each command it runs. After locating the offending command, you can run it manually to investigate why it’s failing. You can remove the /path/to/runner run parts from the displayed commands.
I usually build via cmd.exe, but I think Rumo uses PowerShell, so it should work with that too.
