Hi Antoine, no worries for the delay.

I've been looking into why the AppVeyor check is failing.  I believe it to be an issue with the test harness in that it changes the environment during the tests, but only in the Windows case.  I have been thinking about ignoring the failing tests in Windows and create new tests just for the Windows case.  But I'm not sure that's the best approach.  Ideally the test harness should be able to either not modify the environment of the process or revert the changes it has made.

I'm not a strong Windows developer, so with my crude Windows development environment I'm struggling to see why the tests work in my Linux dev environment but not my Windows VM one.
