3.7.1 doesn't work in Win 11

[craigs48]

I cannot get Audacity to work in Windows 11. I have Version 3.7.1
This is the log.txt:
5:31:21: Audacity 3.7.1
15:31:21: Error: Failed to load shared library ‘avformat-61.dll’ (error 126: The specified module could not be found.)
15:31:21: Error: Failed to load shared library ‘avformat-60.dll’ (error 126: The specified module could not be found.)
15:31:21: FFmpeg libraries loaded successfully from: C:\Program Files\FFmpeg For Audacity\avformat-59.dll

15:31:26: FFmpeg libraries loaded successfully from: C:\Program Files\FFmpeg For Audacity\avformat-59.dll

The .dll files are in the FFmeg libraries.
Audacity worked fine until this new version.
Help?
Thanks.

What does that mean? What are the symptoms?

Those “errors” aren’t really errors. They are just warnings that the optional FFmpeg library isn’t installed, or is not installed correctly.

Version 3.2.0 and later requires FFmpeg 5.0.0. …Normally you just have to download and RUN FFmpeg_5.0.0_for_Audacity_on_Windows_x86_64.exe and you’re good-to-go. You might have to delete the old FFmpeg but I don’t think so.

3.7.1 and the latest 3.7.2 Beta both worked fine on my W11 machine when I was in Zurich last week.
