Adding Windows platform is trying to add cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine and causing an error

I have an existing Ionic application where I have had all of Android, iOS, and Windows platforms included. I have left out Windows for a while, but now have the need to build a Windows 10 UWP version.

I thought since I added the Windows platform a long time ago (when Ionic in Beta and on a different Windows machine), I'd first remove it and then add it back (as it didn't build anyway).

I Now seem get an error that sees to be related to the cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine that I added for iOS.

I have Visual Studio 2017 installed (and all the Cordova etc packages)..

Here is the error I get...

ionic cordova platform add windows --info
> cordova platform add windows --save
✖ Running command - failed!

[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
        You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova platform add windows --save (exit code 1):

        Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
        Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
