What is the Problem?

When I used mongodb-memory-server in mocha tests, I met below error:

Starting the MongoMemoryServer Instance failed, enable debug log for more information. Error:
 UnexpectedCloseError: Instance closed unexpectedly with code "3221225781" and signal "null"
Exit Code is large, commonly meaning that vc_redist is not installed, the latest vc_redist can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Code Example

const { MongoMemoryServer } = require('mongodb-memory-server')
var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var assert = require('assert');
describe('test', function () {
    let mongoServer;
    before(async function () {
        mongoServer = await MongoMemoryServer.create();
        var mongodb = await MongoClient.connect(mongoUri);
        var dbase = mongodb.db("testdb");
        const collectionName ="test"
        const rows =[{name:'test1'},{name:'test2'}]
        var collection = dbase.collection(collectionName);
        const result = await collection.insertMany(rows)
       await mongodb.close()
    });
