I do appreciate the excellent support I have gotten with this program. Thank you.
John From: owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org [mailto:owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org] On Behalf Of Gerald L Collins Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 3:06 PM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: Re: Win32OpenSSL.html John, Your Openssl package should have a manifest file with the same name as the executable with a .manifest extension. I.E. openssl.exe would have openssl.exe.manifest . In that manifest file it tells you what version of libraries it is looking for. For example part of a manifest file one of my executables has looks like below: <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC90.CRT' version='9.0.21022.8' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' /> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> The version should point you to the proper set to load.

Thanks. > > In fairness I should add to this explanation that I did in fact see on the same website where a number of versions of the “C++ 2008 Redistributable” were also available for download. Even so, when I clicked on the download link of the one identified as the correct version for my installation, it directed me to a Microsoft download site on which it stated that the system requirements for this particular version included a number of other operating systems, but it did not include mine. Therefore, I was not sure about whether it was appropriate for my situation. It turns out that it was sufficient, but, again, the Microsoft instructions were not adequately prepared for efficiency.
