[Nut-upsuser] NUT and hyper-V

[Jim Klimov]

Actually there was some interest expressed lately about NUT on Windows from
various requests, so I hope someone in the community would have time and
resources to look into that, but I have no gauge currently on how different
variants behave or were built at all. Note that the latest Windows-related
development in main repository was based on branches derived from NUT
2.6.5, so quite long ago even compared to latest official release 2.7.4
which is a few too many years old now.

For reference, the sentence "I have installed the NUT windows binary with
no problems" - which installer (URL, version) does it refer to?

Also, "I fixed this by copying open SSL dlls" - which version of the DLLs
and where did they come from (delivered with NUT installer or
elsewhere?)... I wonder if for these, there is just an ABI mismatch of
probably openssl-0.x supported by NUT back then, and possibly a newer
openssl-1.0.x or 1.1.x that you might find nowadays, and if the binary
bitness is matched (all 32-bit or all 64-bit in the stack). At least, it
might explain the error message for application startup failure.
