• Looks like libgz-transport14 is not available on conda-forge yet. Can you upload it to conda-forge ?
• The link "First, follow the gz-cmake tutorial for installing Conda, Visual Studio, CMake, etc., prerequisites, and creating a Conda environment." doesn't talk about how to install everything on windows.
• Dependencies to build from source are not available on conda-forge : gz-cmake4 & gz-msgs11

So I'm currently blocked on this one.

I've updated the readme for this (https://github.com/gazebosim/gazebo_test_cases/blob/master/README.md#windows-tests). You'll need to build gz-cmake4, gz-msgs11, etc. from source since prerereleases are not available on conda. See #1575 (comment) for more context.

Also if you get stuck, looking here might help #1701. Most of the issues have been committed and resolved but perhaps the visual studio install is clearer this way.
