Hi Gary, I had a similar problem not a long time ago. My application was built using Visual Studio 2003. I got the pre-built openssl dlls when I installed openssl for windows (got it from the recommended site posted on OpenSSL website). Running the application on some machines worked fine but on others it could not launch the application. I ran the dependency walker and figured it was something with the way the dlls were built (maybe built using VisualStudio 2005). They were depending on MSVCR80.dll. I then manually built it using Visual studio 2003 and all worked fine.
Just my findings --Amit -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Edwards Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 9:14 AM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: RE: openssl clients for windows Hi Gary, I've seen this message when a dependent library is missing. Try using dumpbin or depends from the platform SDK on the affected system. Between them they should tell you which libraries are missing. Hmm, you don't say where you got the binaries from: If its from the current binary distribution you may well be missing MSVCR71.dll which is a Microsoft redistributable library and is not included in the package. You can get MSVCR71.dll easily enough if you have a copy of .NET 1.1 installed somewhere, as it gets installed alongside the .NET installation. Although, again, its not on the system path and will initially give you the same load error. So go hunt for it on your system drive, and stick a copy of it somewhere on the path.
