Hey @kichik,

to support github actions cache on windows zstd and GNU tar have to be installed.
https://github.com/actions/cache?tab=readme-ov-file#pre-requisites

I checked the runner images repo:

This is out of the box available on the windows github runners.
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/scripts/build/Install-Zstd.ps1

for GNU tar 7zip is installed as basic tool:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/80ea4b55c056a86a968ef7a02307a478fd105a46/images/windows/Windows2022-Readme.md#tools

can we install those as general tools in windows ?

tar is already there. Adding zstd sounds good to me.

It is required for [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache?tab=readme-ov-file#pre-requisites) and possibly other GitHub actions.

Resolves #571

Sure. I was hoping to get the other Windows issue first.
