And then click OK on the Environment Variables and the same for System Properties window.Installing and updating Audacity on Windows#Installing the FFmpeg Import/Export Library on Windows says, "If you already have Audacity-compatible FFmpeg 2.2.x or 2.3.x shared libraries in the system PATH, Audacity will use those as long as you do not install FFmpeg from the links below and as long as you do not specify the FFmpeg you want Audacity to use in Libraries Preferences." Step 9: Click on the OK button on the "Edit Environment Variables" window to close it.
