So where is the problem?  The command

  ln -sf avutil-49.0.0.dll "C:\Program Files/FFmpeg/lib/avutil-49.dll"

creates a link pointing to avutil-49.0.0.dll with the name
"C:\Program Files/FFmpeg/lib/avutil-49.dll" and
"C:\Program Files/FFmpeg/lib/avutil-49.0.0.dll" was created by the
install command ...
