Install rgee on Windows 11

Hi everyone, I had no issues installing rgee on Windows 10, but I cannot do the same on Windows 11. Here what I have been trying:

library(rgee)
library(reticulate)
earthengine_python <- Sys.getenv("EARTHENGINE_PYTHON")
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = earthengine_python)
reticulate::py_config()

ee_Initialize()

this return the error:

Error in ee_connect_to_py(path = ee_current_version, n = 5) :
The current Python PATH: C:/Users/chiac/AppData/Local/r-miniconda/envs/r-reticulate/python.exe
does not have the Python package "earthengine-api" installed. Are you restarted/terminated.
your R session after install miniconda or run ee_install()?
If no do it, please try again:

ee_install(): To create and set a Python environment with all rgee dependencies.
ee_install_set_pyenv(): To set a specific Python environment.

However, if I try to run ee_install() I get the error

1. Removing the previous Python Environment (rgee), if it exists ...

• "C:/Users/chiac/AppData/Local/r-miniconda/condabin/conda.bat" "remove" "--yes" "--name" "rgee" "--all"

2. Creating a Python Environment (rgee)

• "C:/Users/chiac/AppData/Local/r-miniconda/condabin/conda.bat" "create" "--yes" "--name" "rgee" "python=3.8" "--quiet" "-c" "conda-forge"
  Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): ...working... failed

CondaSSLError: OpenSSL appears to be unavailable on this machine. OpenSSL is required to

Error in value[3L] :
An error occur when ee_install was creating the Python Environment. Run ee_clean_pyenv() and restart the R session, before trying again.

Can someone please help? This would be really appreciated!

Start by reproducing the Windows 11 setup with the commands in the issue, especially ee_install(), ee_clean_pyenv(), and ee_Initialize(). Inspect the reported Conda OpenSSL failure and the Python environment selected by reticulate. Done means ee_install() creates the rgee environment with earthengine-api available and ee_Initialize() completes.
