The issue seems to be that ffmpeg-normalize looks for the OS environment variable FFMPEG_PATH and expects it to point to the actual ffmpeg binary, i.e. C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\ffmpeg.exe rather than the directory containing it.
To fix this, please set the FFMPEG_PATH to C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\ffmpeg.exe.
This is a somewhat odd choice since, normally, PATH variables point to directories containing binaries. But undoing it would also mean breaking compatibility with existing scripts.

I'm trying to normalize the audio of some mp4 files in Windows 11. Here's what happens:
