Is this application (Install.com)? No. It's a command procedure to do part(?) of the installation on VMS, an operating system that existed and used .com for such files about 10 years before MS-Windows existed, though less known now. The standard openssl distributions are source only; nothing in them runs (except some build tools). See the text file install.w32 for windows (or install for Unix including Linux, or other install.*). To build from source on Windows you can use: the Microsoft compiler VisualC++; mingw which is a 'native' port of the GNU compiler(s) GCC; or cygwin which is a Unix emulation layer supporting GCC as well as (most) other Unix tools. For the first two you also need perl, and a Windows port is available from www.activestate.com/activeperl ; I believe cygwin has its own perl. The install.w32 file also describes Borland, but I thought the Borland compilers aren't available any more, and even if they are I'd be skeptical how up to date they are. Or, get a prebuilt (binary) distribution. For Windows the only one I know is ShiningLight www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html (which despite the name also includes Win64 builds/installers). This is a (commercial) Windows-standard installer which does the usual registry and appwiz.cpl type stuff, wrapped around openssl. If you only want to run the commandline 'openssl', or applications which are already compiled (elsewhere) to use the openssl .dll's, the 'Light' package is sufficient. The 'full' package also includes headers and libraries so you can (write and) compile applications. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
