Hi Ger, Thank you for your reply. I tried with your suggestion.
The file privateKeyFile was created. The execution goes directly to else part I also checked the folder including the application and I found the created file privateKeyFile. The size is 0KB. Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:37:12 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: Re: Debug assertion failed. Expression: (_osfile(fh)&FOPEN) with VS200 I've seen this in a few other circumstances too, but first let's make absolutely sure the OS allows you to create that file: add a check for privateKeyFile==NULL _before_ you use that FILE handle - as you should ;-) So that would mean something along these lines (code from my head, i.e. untested): privateKeyFile = fopen("Privatekey", "w"); if (privateKeyFile == NULL) { /* might be handy to print the errno value too! */ fprintf(stderr, "Fatal error: cannot create/open file '%s' for writing: %s\n", "Privatekey", strerror(errno)); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); // abort test app } else { PEM_write_RSAPrivateKey(privateKeyFile, r,NULL,NULL, 0,NULL, NULL); ... // don't forget to close the handle: fclose(privateKeyFile); } // done Hope this helps you along, Ger On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 8:53 PM, learning openssl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I use VS2005 to create a private RSA key.
