When running the CLI Binaries on Windows I am facing an error

Command

.\subspace-node-windows-x86_64-snapshot-2022-may-03`
--chain testnet `
--execution native `
--unsafe-pruning `
--pruning 1024 `
--keep-blocks 1024 `

If you look at your command you will notice the ` at the end of the file name has no space, this is likely causing the issue with the command. Your correct command should be like this

.\subspace-node-windows-x86_64-snapshot-2022-may-03 `
--chain testnet `
--execution native `
--unsafe-pruning `
--pruning 1024 `
--keep-blocks 1024 `
--validator `
--name NameHere
