Firmware upgrade fail

I just got my Maslow assembled and working through the set up process. I followed the instructions to update firmware. I uploaded firmware.bin and then the machine disconnected and would not connect again. I could not make any further progress so I decided to do a factory reset. I downloaded fluidnc-maslow4-0.84-win64.zip and ran full-install.bat. I received the following error.

Update: I ran the install-fs.bat and that seemed to do the trick.
