Windows container support?

Details

I'm trying to run a custom windows runner, but it doesn't seem to work. Other issues from a year or two ago state that windows runners aren't supported, but the docs don't seem to reflect that. What's the current state of act with windows runners?

Did you miss that in the act user guide:

If you want to run Windows and macOS based platforms and you are running act within that specific environment you can opt out of docker and run them directly on your host system.

Here are some examples

act -P ubuntu-latest=-self-hosted
act -P windows-latest=-self-hosted
act -P macos-latest=-self-hosted

I was able to run a Windows runner in a Windows VM. But it failed because of some dependency problem
