[Bug]: bsdtar.exe fails to run on Windows

[peakschris]

What happened?

With rules_js 1.42.1 on Windows, running js_test targets fails due to a missing crypto DLL:

D:\workspace>bazel test //src/test --verbose_failures

Running the exe by double clicking is the easiest way to see what dependency is missing:

The issue is that libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll is not found

This is blocked on upstream: bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry#1916

[stagnation]

The upstream commit is merged. Do we expect this to work now?
I'll look into overriding versions to see if there is something that hasn't trickled down to me yet, or whether something is held back that shouldn't be.

I can give you the mod graph if that helps.

No, aspect-build/bsdtar-prebuilt#3

[alexeagle]

We haven't found time for this, slipping from 2.0 release. Sorry!

[willjschmitt]

I know aspect-build/bsdtar-prebuilt#3 released a windows build for tar, but pulling in the newer libarchive with rules_js leads to : "tar.exe: Error opening archive: Can't initialize filter; unable to run program "gzip -d"" on Windows when extracting any npm package. I know this issue is still open, but it seems like the specific issue of the libarchive build depending on a shared library on Windows might no longer be an issue, but there still is perhaps a non-hermeticity with gzip? Has anyone else successfully used the windows pre-built bsdtar?

@willjschmitt yes we are aware, see bazel-contrib/bazel-lib#968
