cwipc_register test fails on Windows in CI/CD only

[jackjansen]

The cwipc_register test has been disabled for now, because it is failing on Windows only, in the GitHub action ci/cd only. Works fine on the desktop.

The failure is a weird one, the realsense DLL (which is only loaded because it is loaded early so that the realsense grabber is available to the generic grabber) fails its initialisation routine.

The problem may be simply that the tests are run concurrently, and there's somehow a clash with another test.

Hmm. Just had a completely different crash on a completely fresh Windows 11 machine: the cwipc nightly build can't open a window (for example with cwipc_view). Crashes with Windows Error 0xe06d7363.

On a hunch I checked which version of the vc++ redistributable was installed, and it was 14.42.34433, which is apparently rather new.

On other machines I have 14.40.33810, which is from around June 2024.

Remembering the problems with that redistributable last year I'm now wondering: would Microsoft again have created an incompatible version of the vc++ redistributable?
