ROS Windows Installation Failed can't source

I'm trying to install Windows following the instructions here: http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows. The chocolatey logs said that installation was successful. However, when I try to source the setup files using source c:/opt/ros/noetic/x64/setup.bat I get a bunch of syntax errors. I haven't touched these files at all since installation. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

I've tried https://answers.ros.org/question/3486... and https://answers.ros.org/question/3495... but they seem to be addressing different problems and didn't work for me.

Here's what prints out when I run source c:/opt/ros/noetic/x64/setup.bat:

$ source c:/opt/ros/noetic/x64/setup.bat

bash: ::: command not found

bash: @Echo: command not found

bash: ::: command not found

bash: ::: command not found

Figured it out! On Windows, you can just run the .bat files without the source command.
