"failed to load any RMW implementations" reported on latest Windows Server 2019 image

[minggangw]

Hi there,

I'm a developer of rclnodejs, and recently I found our test on Windows platform / ROS2 Iron started to fail with error:

 Error: failed to load any RMW implementations, at C:\ci\ws\src\ros2\rmw_implementation\rmw_implementation\src\functions.cpp:125, at C:\ci\ws\src\ros2\rcl\rcl\src\rcl\init_options.c:75

With the latest Windows Server 2019 image update, which upgraded Visual Studio.

I didn't change any Github actions configuration, but just rerun the pipeline, and failed, please check with the pipeline. The pipeline works well on https://github.com/actions/runner-images/releases/tag/win19%2F20230912.1.

I'm not sure what caused the error, just see if you have any idea about it, thanks!

Not really, unfortunately. Maybe @ooeygui can comment

@minggangw I'm happy to take a look. The build you had linked to has expired - I was looking through recent builds and didn't specifically see this issue - does it still reproduce?

I noticed in the log that you are using node version 18 which is deprecated.

if you include version setup-ros v0.7 this will (currently) coincide with version 0.7.0. ...setup-ros 0.7.5 use node 20

Version 0.7.10 use openssl 1.1.1.2100

I don't think that's true, please see #794 (comment)
