Gary,
since you mentioned that you call LoadLibrary() in your code, depwalker
will not find those SSL DLLs for your app itself.
However, looking at your problem it may very well be that the SSL DLLs
themselves do not properly initialize: they may also need additional DLL
for their C run-time environment, which may fail to be available on your
system.
Simply put:
you app should already fail to start when the trouble is with DLLs that
are loaded at app startup time, i.e. the ones found by depwalker. This
does not happen according to your description, so we'll have to inspect
the LoadLibrary()-loaded DLLs themselves.
So instead you'll need to load each of the SSL DLLs in depwalker and see
what depwalker reports then (you should be able to load the libeay32.dll
instead of your_app.exe and see a similar dependency tree, now for the
given DLL: expect errors here!).
I suspect the error is in the dependencies for the SSL DLLs themselves I
expect one or more DLLs reported missing here.
This problem is well known - or should I say: well feared - and at a
certain point everyone starts to perform voodoo magic (try with DLL 'x').
When depwalker reports 'all clear', there may still be an issue with
1) the build mode (static versus dynamic, release versus debug run-time
libraries), and
2) manifests, but let's just pray things are resolved before you get
there. :-(
ad 1): make sure your app itself and the SSL DLLs all report the same
set of Microsoft run-time DLLs in their dependency tree.
Things *may* work when both sets differ, but YMMV - I seem to recall
that SSL is 'heap allocation clean' in the sense that anything allocated
in the SSL code is also to be free()d by it, but I am not 100% sure.
Anyway, that a hurdle to jump only _after_ you've resolved the DLL load
issue.
Best regards,
Ger

Hello,
I ran the dependency walker and performed a profile.
The see the error Message
"Failure to starting the process. The application has
failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect"
Whats interesting I dont see the ssleay.dll or
libeay32.dll?
Am I suppose to? I wanted to load these dynamically?
Can they be loaded dynamically using LoadLibrary?
When I run it on the installed openSSL machine no
problem.
Thanks,
Garyc
