The error might have been due to an older C runtime. I think installing visual
studio 2022 might have lead to updating the C runtime associated with VS 2017
to a newer release of VS 2017. Or even updated the version of VS 2017 - I find
the version numbers of msvc vs visual studio incomprehensible, but I think
19.15.26726 is from 2017, missing a lot of bugfixes that were made to VS 2017
since.
