How did you manage to do this? I have been trying around with various

Both these issues are known and Windows-related. They should be harmless.
I think we should skip these tests on Windows until someone can
investigate further. Another test failure that I frequently encounter on
Windows is related to removing the test directory `_fstest`.
It was in fact a permission problem: the base Strawberry installation
dir had the write-protect flag set and this propagated to newly created
files, in particular those created by the test.
In my case I installed Strawberry from the zip packages and created the
directory manually and apparently inherited the write-protect from the
root dir. The MSI installer might not have that problem.
After fixing the write-protect, the tests run cleanly.
Instead of skipping the test altogether, it might make sense to add a
writability check on the created test files and only skip the test if
that fails, possibly with a warning.
