Cannot run official builds on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter

[prescod]

I'm running on a remote VM with the following properties:

Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Version 1607 Intel Xeon Platinum 8175M CPU 8GM of RAM 64 bit operating system, x64-based processor

I download cpython-3.9.7-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc-shared-install_only-20211017T1616.tar.gz from your releases I untar it. I run "python\python.exe"

Error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application."

The static builds DO run but then I have later problems with binary dependencies.

Okay it turns out that this was caused by Windows permissions weirdness on DLL files. Not sure if this is worth documenting for future users.

Fixed with:

yes | cacls cci_installer /t /g Everyone:f

I think this quirk should be documented in the official docs, if possible.

Are you willing to submit a PR, @prescod? (No problem if not.)
