Missing libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll on Windows

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.
