Lispbox is very old (though worked good enough at the days; I actually started with it). The current "Lisp environment in a box" thing is Portacle - https://portacle.github.io/.
I couldn't get anywhere with those last time I tried (2013). LispStick doesn't seem to have been updated since 2014 and LispBox has had no commits since 2010. Have you used either of these recently? For those wanting to go this route I'd recommend Portacle which can run on off a usb and includes git
Thanks. I haven't used windows for development in years and was not aware they went stale.
