We cannot have any RUN commands in the Windows stage when using docker buildx,
which is why we were using the busybox-helper image. The purpose of the image
was to contain a few things that we would obtain by running a few commands:
- symlinks for the busybox binary
- run vcredist_x64.exe which would also give us the vcruntime140.dll which is
necessary for dig or httpd.
There are alternatives to the commands above that can be achieved in a Linux stage
as well:
- we can create the symlinks in a Linux stage with ln -s. Copying them over to
Windows will allow them to work just as well as if they were being copied over
from a Windows image. The 'Files\' prefix issue to the symlink target still persists.
- we can download the vcruntime140.dll directly, allowing us to skip the vcredist_x64.exe
installation.
