All of the runtimes were installed long before I tried to install ntpd including any outstanding Microsoft patches, updates, etc. I had installed several other programs that needed the various runtimes first. The installation of ntpd was one of the last things I did. I think it just came down to libeay32.dll not being installed the first time and the reinstall/update simply put that back in on its own without prompting. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
