Nicla Voice cannot connect to my PC (Windows 11)

Nicla Voice cannot connect to my PC (Windows 11). Please step by step help me to solve the problem.
I have downloaded the Arduino CLI 1.3.1 and 0.34.2 and the audio firmware. When I run install_lib_win, please see enclosed scan the prompt said the below messages:
You need to upgrade your Arduino CLI version (now: 1.3.1, but required: 0.34.x or higher)
See Redirecting for upgrade instructions
Then, I try to use the 0.34.2 Arduino CLI…finally still connect Nicla Voice to my PC, my PC cannot detect it.
Also, I have installed Arduino IDE, Node. js, Python, and Visual Studio too.
Now, I cannot get started on my project. Please help. Thanks!

Best regards,

Hi @kelvinng_rmit

thank you for reporting, I’m fixing now.

Meanwhile, you can downalod and use this one:

github.com

edgeimpulse/firmware-arduino-nicla-voice/blob/main/update_libraries_windows.bat

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
setlocal
REM go to the folder where this bat script is located
cd /d %~dp0

set ARDUINO_CLI=arduino-cli
set /A EXPECTED_CLI_MAJOR=0
set /A EXPECTED_CLI_MINOR=34
set /A EXPECTED_CLI_REV=2

set ARDUINO_CORE=arduino:mbed_nicla
set BOARD=%ARDUINO_CORE%:nicla_voice
set MBED_VERSION=4.0.8

where /q %ARDUINO_CLI%
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
    ECHO Cannot find 'arduino-cli' in your PATH. Install the Arduino CLI before you continue.
    ECHO Installation instructions: https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/
    EXIT /B

This file has been truncated. show original

Or modify line 34 35 from

if !CLI_MINOR! LSS !EXPECTED_CLI_MINOR! (
    GOTO UPGRADECLI
)

to
if !CLI_MAJOR! LEQ !EXPECTED_CLI_MAJOR! if !CLI_MINOR! LSS !EXPECTED_CLI_MINOR! GOTO UPGRADECLI
