Description
When trying to run retdec executables on Windows 11 the error "The code execution cannot proceed because libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll was not found." shows up. Possibly related to #1205 .
Fixed it by installing openssl 1.1 with choco:
choco install openssl --version=1.1.1.2000
Executables are not statically linked to openssl. If you have the latest version (openssl 3.0) it will not work due to version mismatch.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by examining how RetDec Windows executables are packaged and linked against OpenSSL, then reproduce the missing libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll error on Windows 11; done means the executables run without requiring a separately installed OpenSSL 1.1 dependency.
