Julia v1.4 failed to precompile plots on windows 7 x64

[fhkm]

I have a clean install of Julia v1.4 on windows 7. I was unable to create any plot. Please see the error message below.

We've had recurrent reports of users having install issues (with Plots in this case) because FFMPEG sometimes doesn't install on Windows, e.g. https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/2419
