any idea why even running bminer.exe --help does nothing at all?

I'm on windows 10 insider Preview.  Currently using HSRMiner with no issues on nicehash.

Even the sample command from the site:

bminer -uri stratum://1DQ4bZpFTDiSNk2CWLEFWK9K96rBFP2Hv@equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357

does nothing.

Any help would be appreciated
