HiCan anyone tell me how to deploy the necessary OpenSSL files as part of a Win32 application?The app is deployed using a Windows Installer EXE. I’m not particularly familiar with how this works, but it has been suggested that an OpenSSL merge module might be what I’m looking for?Thanks Dave
You'll need the binary files libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll plus the executables you want to use (openssl.exe?).In addition you may need configuration data like a CA-bundle or the openssl.cnf, but that depends heavily on the functionality you are using. If you put them together into the install directory of your own application and chances are good that everything works fine. ;)
I don't know Windows Installer in detail, but I guess the placement of some more files into the same directory should not pose a real problem for it. In case openssl is already installed on the target system maybe you'll waste about 1.5 MB of harddisk space, but you'll get the advantage of using exactly the version of openssl you did test your application against...
Hope it helps. Ted ;) -- PGP Public Key Information Download complete Key from http://www.convey.de/ted/tedkey_convey.asc Key fingerprint = 31B0 E029 BCF9 6605 DAC1 B2E1 0CC8 70F4 7AFB 8D26
