Unable to run bw.exe in windows, without chocolatey

Hello,

Im trying to run commands in bw using bw cli. I call the application from my script that is located in the same folder as the bw.exe file.
I keep getting the error that \lib\bitwarden-cli\tools\bw.exe cannot be found. That path seems unrelated to my setup. Should I copy bw.exe to that folder \lib\bitwarden-cli\tools\ ?
bw.exe seems to run fine, when I use chocolatey, but I would prefer to find a way to use bw.exe without needing to use chocolatey, as I intend to use the application only one time as a part of a device prep script and Im looking for the simplest form of execution.
Thanks.
