Update windows packager and tests for Python 3.12

This commit is a windows packager update inclusive of a recent
Python version, a C++ Visual Studio executable needed by torch,
and some test fixes so to run without errors in windows environments.

Remove no longer needed change of directory and an echo off line
that makes debugging of the packager script more difficult.
