Hi Samer, A fully static thread-safe build on Windows won't work correctly. We use the HDF5 shared library entry points to set up thread-local storage for things like error and function stacks.
While you may get CMake to build you an HDF5 shared library that is statically linked to the CRT, we don't support it. We disabled it due to potential problems with memory being allocated in one statically linked CRT and freed in another (e.g.: in plugins, user virtual file drivers, etc).
