I don't build or develop on Windows myself, but the existing CI jobs that
build on Windows and run tests are either built with mingw or cmake.

You also need to build the entire test suite, which is normally done with
"make" in the tests directory. I don't think the visual studio build can do
that.

That logic is not adapted for the Windows visual studio builds.

... because the suite suite and involved tools have not been built.
