Windows Interface Smoke Tests :facepalm:

[koshchii]

We must test both the .exe installer package and install direct from conda.

• To install via conda:
  • Use Intel Conda and make sure conda-forge is added to channels

    mamba create -n mantid_rc1 -c mantid/label/v6.10.0rc1 mantidworkbench --yes
    mamba activate mantid_rc1
    workbench # to launch

Before testing:

• Check this testing issue relates to the OS you will test on.
• If unassigned, please assign yourself as for a normal Github issue.
• Please run these tests on the release package of Mantid; not a locally built version.

Afterwards:

• Comment below with any issues you came across.
• If no major issues were found, please close this testing issue.
• Check the main issue for this OS for other unassigned smoke tests.

If you have any questions please contact the creator of this issue.

:facepalm:

ISIS only, if possible, so catalogue access can be tested

• [x] MantidWorkbench opens without errors or warnings
• [x] Every option in Interface opens a GUI
• [x] Load some test data
• [x] Access Catalogue through algorithms (use Facilities account, same as for IDAaaS): CatalogLogin and CatalogGetDataFiles
• [x] Saving/loading projects works
  • [x] Alter preferences in File > Settings and check they are obeyed

When I try to open Muon Elemental Analysis interface I got this error:

Has been addressed in #37578

For the Windows standalone installation, I also get the same error when trying to open the Muon Elemental Analysis interface. However, I don't seem to have the issue with the missing DLL, and I can see the Indirect option on the Interfaces menu.

[MohamedAlmaki]

The TOF converter seems to be too compressed, making it unusable: (issue raised in #37584)

[MohamedAlmaki]

@rbauststfc are you happy to close it if you haven't found any issue?

[rbauststfc]

Yes, I think we can close this one now, thanks @MohamedAlmaki
