Originally I was using ffmpeg full via winget.exe install --id "Gyan.FFmpeg". However, I noticed that when attempting to open a .wav within audacity, I was missing the avformat.dll from ffmpeg. I found from a previous here here on GitHub that avformat.dll and other dlls are included in the shared release(s). I installed full-shared via winget.exe install --id "Gyan.FFmpeg.Shared", but I noticed that it didn't create any links as per usual. The files all seemed to be there any installed within the respective winget package folder, but no links were being created.

Is it intended behavior for winget to not create the respective links for the various ffmpeg binaries when installing the shared version of ffmpeg? Regardless of the matter, could I please request for this version of FFmpeg to also create the appropriate links so we can still access the various ffmpeg tools via cmd? Thank you.
