I'm not sure why you think this is a VS2005 issue. We've been deploying apps which depend on the OpenSSL libraries built with VS2005 for the last year or so (prior to that, we used VS2003). There's really not much to it. Make sure you copy these files: libeay32.dll libeay32.dll.manifest ssleay32.dll ssleay32.dll.manifest to the _same_ directory as your application runs from, I wouldn't recommend trying to put them in your system directory. That is the primary search path for all DLLs on windows and is strongly recommended that you deploy OpenSSL in that manner to prevent conflicts with other applications which may link to other versions of openssl. Yes, those manifest files are something new with VS2005. Also make sure you deploy the manifest files for your MSVC runtime, along with MFC or whatever else you may be using. What error are you seeing that make you think this would be anything related to OpenSSL to begin with? Please use the openssl-users list for this kind of stuff though. This has nothing to do with openssl-dev ... -Brad ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
