OpenSSL Team,

I am running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 on Intel.

I downloaded Win32OpenSSL-1_0_0d.exe and installed to C:\Program 
Files\OpenSSL-Win32.

I created an PKI directory structure as follows:

C:\Documents and Settings\BBruce\Application Data\PKI\BEBLAPTOP\MyCA

    containing the following files:

        an empty .rnd
        an empty index.txt
        serial (containing the single entry 01 on line one followed by a crlf)
        openssl.my.cfg (a copy of the supplied openssl.cfg file)

Under MyCA\    I created the following structure:

    certs\
    crl\
    newcerts\
    private\

NOTE: I am following a tutorial I found on line to teach myself what I need to 
in order to run my own CA for generating and self-signing certificates for 
testing purposes. These tests will involve server certificates as well as code 
signing certificates.

The tutorial is found at http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/be-your-own-ca/

When I issue the following command from a DOS shell within C:\Documents and 
Settings\BBruce\Application Data\PKI\BEBLAPTOP\MyCA :

"C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe" req -config openssl.my.cfg 
-new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout private\MyCA.key -out certs\MyCA.crt -days 
1825

I receive the following ERROR MESSAGE:

3572:error:0E079065:configuration file routines:DEF_LOAD_BIO:missing equal 
sign:.\crypto\conf\conf_def.c:362:line 1

The first four digit numeral (3572) seems to be random as it is different every 
time I have tried any openssl.exe command.

I also receive the same ERROR message when issuing the commands from a DOS 
shell within C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win32\bin:

openssl version -a   OR   openssl

I do not have a C compiler to correct the issue myself and recompile; is it 
possible that you can correct the issue and send me the new binary attached to 
an email?

OR

Explain to me what I may be doing incorrectly?
