The version of Python from the Microsoft Store does not work with MSET9,
in part because this version doesn't include the "py" launcher, which is
what MSET9-Windows.bat wants. I don't know if it does actually work if
mset9.py is used directly though, but until then, the python.org
installers should be recommended.
