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%
