Click on environment variables near the bottom of the new window. Now click on the “new” that’s just above “ok” and “cancel”. Put "OPENSSL_ia32cap" as your Variable name and "~0x20000000" as value. Now click ok to add it. Proceed to click on ok again this time the one at the window that has the system variables on it. (even changed the 32 to 64 in OPENSSL_ia32cap)
