Failures in the "Build Windows Native Image" CI step

[blickly]

The last two CI runs (4 hours and 11 hours ago) have failed for the "Build Windows Native Image" step failed with the same error message:

It seems many of these CI steps are a bit flaky, so hopefully that's the case, but filing this issue to track just in case.

Unfortunately, the looks to not be flaky, as there have now been a few more failures with the same message. Unfortunately, I don't think many on the team have the capacity to investigate (or a windows machine for that matter).

@ChadKillingsworth, do you have an idea what could be going wrong here?

[ChadKillingsworth]

I can definitely take a look. Diagnosing problems like this on windows builds is super challenging.

Oh this may be a security change by Node: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/april-2024-security-releases-2
