all i want to do is run a Bash script on my Slack server.

I run some Windows systems in a VirtualBox virtual machine (VM) and use bridge networking for those VMs. I also have one physical Windows machine that connects to the same LAN and Slackware host machine.
I connect my Windows systems to my Slackware host using Samba. All of my data files are Samba shares that I keep stored on my host Slackware system. My Windows systems auto-connect to those Samba shares. Most of the script based tasks I run in support of my work are actually system scripts rather than Windows specific. Therefore my shell scripts running on my host Slackware system can perform maintenance without ever needing the Windows machines.
If your shell script task is in that category, then perhaps some Samba shares might suffice for you? For example, if you are a web developer and want to search and replace text within files using find/grep/sed, you can do that easily with a shell script if all of the data files are on the host machine and shared through Samba.
If not and the task needs to run directly within Windows, then another option might be the Windows Power Shell. No experience, but perhaps that environment might provide a more flexible language and syntax to write 'nix-like scripts.
