What happened?

Some users report failures with Miniconda 24.5.0, which uses conda-standalone 24.5.0 as the bootstrapper. One example can be found here: ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues#13408

Further debugging showed that the release binaries for conda-standalone 24.5.0 produce the same error:

OPENSSL_Uplink(00007FFB01AE2FE8,08): no OPENSSL_Applink

There appears to be a correlation with users having an official Python installed. I cannot reproduce the problem though.

Miniconda 24.4.0, which uses conda-standalone 24.3.0, works fine though.

Additional Context

A lot of things have changed between conda-standalone 24.3.0 and 24.5.0, most notably the Python and pyinstaller versions got updated.

However, the packages on defaults were both built with pyinstaller 5.13.2.
