Update 2: Gave up on MSYS2 and just used rustup. Managed to compile and run, but exit() doesn't work. Also I just realized the executable contains the compilation path, which leaks private information? Makes it hard to compile and redistribute stuff, but otherwise I'd be very excited about the project.

Update: Still can't get it to work. Also, the tool seems to download random third-party packages that aren't documented?

I ran 'cargo install pyoxidizer' and got
cargo install pyoxidizer
Updating registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
error: failed to parse manifest at `%USERPROFILE%\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\pyoxidizer-0.1.1\Cargo.toml`
Caused by:
editions are unstable
Caused by:
feature `edition` is required
this Cargo does not support nightly features, but if you switch to nightly channel you can add `cargo-features = ["edition"]` to enable this feature
Not sure where to go next... I'm not a Rust programmer and frustratingly I never seem to get Rust programs working on the first try. Do I have to download another version of Rust now? Why can't Rust just install the package?
Edit: Would be nice if someone could also explain how this is a manifest parsing error?
