This is my first time trying to install Azerothcore. I followed a few (I would say up to a year old) ways of installing Azerothcore but every time I seem to have a hiccup when it comes to the OpenSSL. I think I have followed the process to a 'T' but obviously not. I have a window that pops up saying Error in configuration process project files may be invalid.
The 2 CMake errors I get when following the Azerothcore guide are:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the
system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY Crypto
SSL)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:600 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)

deps/openssl/CMakeLists.txt:17 (find_package)
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I've been following the Azerothcore install guide for Windows 11
Win64OpenSSL-3_2_0
cmake-3.25.2-windows-i386
boost_1_81_0-msvc-14.3-64
mysqlcommunity-8.0.33.0
visual studio 2022
I'm looking to play offline due to no internet access where I work and I obviously have no programming experience but I'm ok at getting around a computer and would appreciate any help.
CMake cannot find the OpenSSL directory on your machine. It looks for it by default under the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR system variable. Make sure it is set properly.
