Windows: ParaView 5.9.0-RC2 + mesa-opengl-64 dll's doesn't open

LANL has windows machines without GPU's that need to be able to run paraview. I tested on a machine that does have a GPU, if that could cause problems.
Using the mesa dll's (https://www.paraview.org/files/dependencies/mesa-opengl-win64.zip) with 5.9.0-RC2 zipped for Windows (https://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.php?submit=Download&version=v5.9&type=binary&os=Windows&downloadFile=ParaView-5.9.0-RC2-Windows-Python3.8-msvc2017-64bit.zip) does not work. Opening paraview starts an output window that closes after a bit without any output.
Steps to reproduce:
- Download and unzip both links above
- Copy the 3 dll's from
mesa-opengl-win64
to the same directory asparaview.exe
- Run
paraview.exe
