windows, ERROR: could not load symbol "nc_open"

[verseve]

Using NCDatasets (v0.11.9) on Windows (Julia v1.6.5) the following error is thrown when loading a NetCDF file:

nc = NCDataset(path)

ERROR: could not load symbol "nc_open":
The specified procedure could not be found.

This happens with NetCDF_jll version v400.802.101+0 (Pkg.add("NCDatasets")). When using NetCDF_jll v400.702.400+0 loading of the NetCDF file works fine.

Yes, this is a known issue of NetCDF_jll. Have look here: JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#3731
Therefore the release 400.802.101+0 was "yanked" from the registry and is not installed automatically (but it might have been available during a brief period).
I will close the issue here to keep the troubleshooting at one place. If somebody using Windows could contribute, that would be very welcome.
The upstream issue:
Unidata/netcdf-c#2124
