Windows 32-bit CI: failures calling ver command #113440
Description
We've had build failures on "Windows / build and test (x86)", after some unknown problem calling the ver command.
For example:
Run .\python.bat -m test.pythoninfo
Running Debug|Win32 interpreter...
ERROR: collect_windows() failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
