Nut upsuser - Jun 2021 - NUT and hyper-V

I am trying to get NUT to work with Hyper-V Server 2019 (free version of
Hyper-V, basically Server 2019 Core)

I have installed the NUT windows binary with no problems.  I have configured
NUT on the Hyper-V server as a slave.
Windows NUT Service starts up okay.  I am trying to use upsc.exe from the
commandline to check the status of the master UPS.
At first I got some missing DLL errors.  I fixed this by copying open SSL
dlls to the windows folder.
Now when I try to run upsc.exe I just get an error :

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

Windows event log didn't show anything more.

The news is not good.  Have you seen

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.
