I've seen this reported lately a few times by new Windows contributors. It seems we're hitting this code.
Do you have any idea of what might be going on? Maybe it should fail more gracefully?

The second screenshot is related to 1689647.
The first screenshot is still a valid bug. I can reproduce it on a fresh Windows VM - ./mach install-moz-phab
fails because it "Could not find the CLI script for moz-phab", and ./mach bootstrap
thinks this is a fatal error and fully aborts.
Strangely, moz-phab
is on the path, so the mechanism that ./mach install-moz-phab
is using to find the binary is failing.

On Windows, when moz-phab
is installed, two "executable" files are
created:
- moz-phab.exe
- moz-phab-script.py
Our moz-phab.exe
detection was choking on moz-phab-script.py
and was
unsure which of the two to use.
