Hello.
In this instance I am using 64-bit Win7 on a laptop in a home network. When I downloaded this version of OpenSSL http://slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL_Light-1_0_1c.exe, during installation it alerted me about not finding but needing the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. I was a bit surprised to see this alert because I could see that I already had several other such Redistributables installed on my system. These are what I currently had: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.17 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.4148 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.6161 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.4148 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161 Apparently, this version of OpenSSL required a different one, so I went online hunting down what I could find along these lines until coming across another one that seemed to suffice, namely, this one: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable - x64 9.0.21022 I was lucky, I suppose, in that I did not have to spend much time looking around before I found one that would fit the bill and satisfy and satisfy its requirements. However, to be honest, I am no programmer and, therefore, I am not at all sure how many different versions of the 2008 Redistributable are floating around. In the alert that I got during the installation there was no mention of any specific version at all. In general, how would a person know which of these version might be needed without having to go through a hunt and peck approach while looking for one of them? This is an awesome product, but it would be swell also, if possible, to tweak the installation process with a little more information about its dependencies under the circumstances. Or am I seeming too picky about it? Thanks. John
