ROS2 Windows - rmw_implementation error when running examples

edit

I have been trying to install ROS 2 from binary onto Windows by following these instructions. When on the step to run the examples, the C++ talker exits silently, while the Python listener raises the following exception:

C:\Users\Testing>call "C:\dev\ros2_foxy\local_setup.bat"
[connext_cmake_module] Warning: The location at which Connext was found when the workspace was built [[C:\Program Files\rti_connext_dds-5.3.1]] does not point to a valid directory, and the NDDSHOME environment variable has not been set. Support for Connext will not be available.

C:\Users\Testing>ros2 run demo_nodes_py listener

Running ros2 node list generates a related sort of error:

C:\Users\Testing>ros2 node list
Unable to get rmw_implementation_identifier, try specifying the implementation to use via the 'RMW_IMPLEMENTATION' environment variable

I used DependencyWalker to see if anything was missing for the rmw_fastrtps_cpp.dll file, and it looks like several core Windows files are missing, such as API-MS-WIN-CORE-APIQUERY-L1-1-0.DLL, API-MS-WIN-CORE-APIQUERY-L1-1-1.DLL, API-MS-WIN-CORE-APPCOMPAT-L1-1-0.DLL, and many others. I was assuming these files should have been provided by one of the steps in the installation instructions. Am I wrong?

Has anyone found a fix for this? I need this to work so that I can test that ROS 2 code I develop will work on Windows installations.
