One extra bit of info is to set the path in cmder follow these instructions

Find msys in the scoop folder and add the path, mine was here...

set PATH=C:\Users\justi\scoop\apps\msys2\current\usr\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Users\justi\scoop\apps\msys2\current\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

Not sure about the order this needs to be done in but you must set the default target 

 rustup target add gnu
 
 Then you can install 
 
 rustup toolchain default stable-gnu
 rustup toolchain default nightly-gnu
 
 Now you should be able to build and run rust.
 
 WINDOWS 
 
 Install the SDK C++ tools 
 
 set the path for the linker
 
  set PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30037\bin\Hostx64\x86";%PATH%
