Just add Scripts to path (not Scripts/nuitka), and it should run
nuitka.bat. I would guess that the one without an extension is a Unix
shell script of some sort; have a look at it, see if it's a text file
that begins "#!/bin/sh" or similar. Most likely the file sizes of
nuitka and nuitka.bat will be similar - of the order of hundreds of
bytes, even, as they're probably just invoking Python.
