Can't find Mono runtime and/or Microsoft Font Validator

See original GitHub issue

I installed FontBakery following the instructions here without issue. I then followed the instructions here for installing FontValidator. I still get this error:

>> com.google.fonts/check/037 with (('font[0]', 'WorkSans-VF.ttf'),)
   Checking with Microsoft Font Validator.
