          I think both are the same issue, no console output on Windows

          Is it also intended to work from the compiled version of Picard?  I tried with the Windows version of the Picard 2.0 beta, and it didn't display any help.

          Such command exists:

          (picard2) zas@Ifrit4 ~/src/picard_zas $ python tagger.py -h

          usage: tagger.py [-h] [-c CONFIG_FILE] [-d] [-N] [-v] [-V] [FILE [FILE ...]]

          positional arguments:
          FILE

          optional arguments:
          -h, --help show this help message and exit
          -c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
          location of the configuration file
          -d, --debug enable debug-level logging
          -N, --no-restore do not restore positions and/or sizes
          -v, --version display version information and exit
          -V, --long-version display long version information and exit

          If one of the filenames begins with a hyphen, use – to separate the options
          from the filenames.
