Please note there is now an official build of JAGS for UCRT, it is versioned 4.3.1 and it is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmc-jags/files/JAGS/4.x/Windows/JAGS-4.3.1.exe The official build of JAGS 4.3.0 is only of MSVCRT. Please use the official build with R >= 4.2 to avoid potential confusion. For reference, these are resources to build JAGS 4.3.0 for UCRT, which were needed for using JAGS with R packages in the UCRT builds of R before the official build became ready. The resulting installer executable is available at https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/winutf8/ucrt3/extra/jags/
