Android Build Issue with Lastest Build 2025.3714

Hi, I get the following error attempting to build for Android on a new laptop running Windows 11 Home. I downloaded the latest version of Solar2d ( 2025.3714 ) to build a project and I get the following gradle error, “Error while fetching plugins”. I have tried installing different versions of the Java Development kit, but no luck. Not sure how to solve it.
Any ideas? Thanks

Doing this helped.

I added the following to the path environment variable and it now works!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona Labs\Corona
C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona Labs\Corona\Native\Corona\win\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona Labs\Corona\jre\bin
