Much appreciated Brad. Is this documented anywhere? I totally agree that this stuff has nothing to do with openssl-dev. I wasnt receiving the right information that helped me solve the problem in openssl-users. The information you have given should be documented at least on the FAQ. I was at a loss on what I was doing and sometimes the little things I missed count alot. Pushing the dll to the same directory as the application and the caveats? Huh! I would think that dlls should reside in system32?
Anyway much appreciated and I hope this is now resolved. Thanks, Garyc --- Brad House <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well that didnt fly either.
