influxdb 3 core/enterprise Windows tar.gz files are missing dlls in top-level directory

[jdstrand]

https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/core/?t=Windows and https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/enterprise/?t=Windows list the download URLs as: https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/snapshots/influxdb3-core_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz and https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/snapshots/influxdb3-enterprise_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz respectively. Unlike the .zip files generated in CircleCI (eg, https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/influxdata/influxdb/44610/workflows/24b15716-e774-49dd-9a86-85eb840226d6/jobs/422207/artifacts), the .tar.gz don't have the .dll files from python/*.dll copied next to the influxdb3 binary, so simply unpacking the .tar.gz and running influxdb3 causes it not run (since it can't find python311.dll, etc). Unfortunately, ACLs seem to be preventing the uploaded .zip files from being downloaded.

The fix is to adjust the influxdb3-core_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz and influxdb3-enterprise_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz files published to s3 to ship the python/*.dll alongside influxdb3 in the unpack directory.

WORKAROUND: after unpacking the .tar.gz, copy (not move!) /path/to/unpack/dir/python/*.dll to /path/to/unpack/dir such that /path/to/unpack/dir has: influxdb3.exe, python3.dll, python311.dll, vcruntime140.dll, vcruntime140_1.dll and the python directory.

Here are the steps for the Microsoft command prompt for Core (assumes https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/snapshots/influxdb3-core_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz is downloaded to the current directory):

> mkdir influxdb-core\install
> tar -zxf influxdb3-core_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz -C influxdb-core\install

# this doesn't work due to https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/26113
> influxdb-core\install\influxdb3.exe -V
>

# workaround
> copy influxdb-core\install\python\*.dll influxdb-core\install
influxdb-core\install\python\python3.dll
influxdb-core\install\python\python311.dll
influxdb-core\install\python\vcruntime140.dll
influxdb-core\install\python\vcruntime140_1.dll
        4 file(s) copied.

# now it works
> influxdb-core\install\influxdb3.exe -V
influxdb3 0.1.0, revision v2.5.0-14368-g5fa417c3f0afde4003ffc3a27e384439a2621b81

and for Enterprise (assumes https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/snapshots/influxdb3-enterprise_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz is downloaded to the current directory):

> mkdir influxdb-enterprise\install
> tar -zxf influxdb3-enterprise_x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.tar.gz -C influxdb-enterprise\install

# this doesn't work due to https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/26113
> influxdb-enterprise\install\influxdb3.exe -V
>

# workaround
> copy influxdb-enterprise\install\python\*.dll influxdb-enterprise\install
influxdb-enterprise\install\python\python3.dll
influxdb-enterprise\install\python\python311.dll
influxdb-enterprise\install\python\vcruntime140.dll
influxdb-enterprise\install\python\vcruntime140_1.dll
        4 file(s) copied.

# now it works
> influxdb-enterprise\install\influxdb3.exe -V
influxdb3 0.1.0, revision 1ee2be689ff9963db665ec257092682cbc546c9a

I'll take this since I didn't account for this when updating the builds for python build standalone (I was thinking the zip file was used in the docs).
