   I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this, but I was finally
able to stand up a fresh VM, install and compile all of the Windows
dependencies, and compile everything from source with the provided
patch.
  This patch fixes the issue that I was seeing with the 12.2 release. I was
able to run through all of my normal test scenarios successfully using
the patch.
I appreciate you looking into this and getting me a patch so quickly.
