This is the default by not specifing DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

dbus portable binary packages and installers for Windows are build on
the openSUSE OBS.

At
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/noarch/
you may search for files with

mingw32-dbus-1-portable-*-noarch.rpm
mingw32-dbus-1-setup-*-noarch.rpm

or at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/noarch/
for

mingw64-dbus-1-portable-*-noarch.rpm
mingw64-dbus-1-setup-*-noarch.rpm

You can unpack the rpm containers with 7zip.

The mingwxx-dbus-1-devel-xxx.noarch.rpm are for development.
