One thing to consider is if you want to include the patented ciphers in your build, such as RC5, and IDEA. If you are in USA you may need to pay royalities to the owners of these ciphers if you use them. Many people disable these when building OpenSSL libraries, by using something like "perl Configure VC-WIN32 no-idea no-rc5". MDC2 was also patented, but the patent expired earlier this year. I suggest you build your own library files (libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll), and within your application you should include all the source files found in \include\openssl\ in order to use the libraries. As far as an installer deployment, it is very simple to add the two DLL library files to an existing InstallShield or Wise installer installation, and these files can be placed in the same directory as your main application. There is no need to "register" these DLL's in Windows. -Chris ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
