1.17.7 Msvc release builds contain linux libraries

[victorbai]

I just noticed that the latest 1.17.7 building binaries contains wrong library files. The msvc builds are in fact linux libaraies instead of windows library.

Yes, sorry, this is because of a bug in the CI and I haven't made a new release yet to correct it. If you get the binaries for the latest release of Cbc, they include Clp. Please also note coin-or/Cbc#522, however.

@tkralphs Thanks for the responsive reply. It makes sense. Actually, I downloaded an older build, and just came across the same linking issue you mentioned. Your notes help a lot. I will build myself instead.

It's been a while, but just in case, I wanted to note that the newest releases now correctly have MSVC libraries, but coin-or/Cbc/#522 is still an issue. That should also be fixed shortly.
