Windows Installation Issues

[nmsutton]

I have been helping someone who wants to install CARLsim in Windows. I have observed the same errors they report. I have attached carlsim_build_error.txt, which is the command line output with the errors at the bottom.

The other person tested this on Windows 11 with Visual Studio (VS) 2019 and a GeForce 3080 Ti GPU with CUDA 11.7. I tested this on Windows 10 by trying both VS 2019 and 2022 and a GeForce 3050 GPU with CUDA 11.7. I also tested DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE as Release and Debug. I tried building CARLsim via the command line and through the VS GUI.

The error, in brief, appears to be a "mismatch" in values between carlsim-cudad.lib and carlsim.obj. The VS GUI build showed more errors but perhaps fixing this would solve those other errors. I believe this issue may be replicated by anyone attempting to install in Windows the latest main branch CARLsim code on Windows with no modification to its build configuration. I recall @larsnm worked on the Windows release of CARLsim, so I would appreciate any thoughts he has. I would be interested in the software versions used and steps involved if anyone has successfully been able to install CARLsim 6 in Windows.

Other details: I used CARLsim 6.1, cuda-samples 11.6, cmake 3.21.0, and Google test 1.11.
