Unable to source ROS 2 setup file on Windows 10

edit

Hello everyone,

I followed the instructions showen in the link below to install ROS2 on Windows. https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Window...

But when i reached the step " Set up the ROS 2 environment" and wrote that command

call C:\dev\ros2\local_setup.bat"

in command prompt this what i got

'""python" "C:\dev\ros2\_local_setup_util.py" --merged-install"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So i tried the following:

i run the command "python" "C:\dev\ros2_local_setup_util.py" --merged-install directly in command prompt and it worked and the output was
