The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5248 Logged by: Vincent Pinto Email address: vincent_pi...@mentor.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1.876 Operating system: Windows XP SP3 Description: Cannot find SSLEAY32.dll problem. Details: We have an application that installs postgres.
How? Using the OneClick installer's silent/scripted install? From the zip files? If the latter, how and where?
But during the install, while it tries to start the database, and error "This application failed to start because SSLEAY32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." pops up.
SSLEAY32.DLL should be part of the PostgreSQL install and in the same directory as the PostgreSQL binaries. Is it not?
I tried reinstalling but that does not help. I also noticed on my earlier laptop that ssleay32.dll is not in the windows/system32 dir (many folks on various forums suggest to do so, but I did not do it because the db starts on the earlier machine, so why should it not start on the newer on?)
No, do *not* mess with WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 . People who tell you to install random libraries there are almost certainly wrong, and are parroting advice that used to apply back in the Windows 95/98 days before Windows preferentially loaded libraries from the same directory as the application.
