When using Starnet++ for sequence in Siril dev, it does one image and then stops with an error.

I am running into pretty much the same bug in Siril v1.2.0 so maybe that commit got clobbered. I have the same Win 10 x64 system and same version of Starnet++ v2 cli WIN.
I just downloaded the command line version of StarNet. I did test it with its test image using the application that came with that version. I’m not sure if that answers your question. To add more details, here is the log from Siril:

I see. I need a compiled version of Siril. So I followed the instructions at siril.readthedocs and set up MSYS2. That went OK. Then I installed the dependencies which seemed mostly OK. Things went south when I tried to actually build siril with meson. I got a “meson: command not found” error. Perhaps this is just a path issue but I don’t know how to set the right path. Same issue with ninja.
This command that I used from the instructions should have installed meson as I understand it.

At the end it said something about setting up file paths but it wasn’t clear what to do and there were no instructions about this.
I realized that I messed up by not picking the terminal session with the blue symbol. It wasn’t showing in my start menu so I picked the one that seemed closest. I realized it just needed to be expanded to see the mingw console. Once I got that right I was able to do the build. Thanks for the pointers.
So I actually got it to run on a sequence but now have a different problem. When I try to do stacking for a comet it has lost the meta data in the starless images. Without the time information it cannot register the comet images. What is the work around for this?
