Add Windows CI

[YasharF]

Versions

• NodeJS: 24 or 26
• mongodb-memory-server-*: 11.1.0
• mongodb(the binary version): latest
• mongodb(the js package): latest
• system: Windows

package: mongo-memory-server

What is your question?

Is Windows officially supported? I was under the impression that it would be, so wanted to contribute by adding Windows-latest to the GitHub Action build matrix, but then realized there are two issues that make it more challenging than a simple workflow edit:

1. Some tests seem to have hardcoded Linux paths which won't work for a Windows installation.
2. I saw some complexity with older MongoDB versions and libssl, which I am not quite sure the Windows equivalent tests for.

As far as just adding windows-latest to the GitHub Action the change is somewhat minor as it can be seen here: https://github.com/YasharF/mongodb-memory-server/commit/1903ef69c1eef342727345746baa7c19a55c1e04

But that is not enough as I mentioned and this GitHub Action run result: https://github.com/YasharF/mongodb-memory-server/actions/runs/26327024093

Yeah windows is theoretically supported, but currently no CI is actually run for it.
As you already pointed out, there may be some tests which use only linux paths, though they should likely be fixed or ignored on windows (if they are unix specific).
