One of the most important things about this is, "when did you obtain the installer from slproweb.com"? It's difficult to figure out if it's older, or a problem in a very recent build, or what.

(In the meantime, I'm going to try this with VC++ 2005, 8.0). -Kyle H On 2/15/06, Matthias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good day everyone! > > I do have the problem that the OpenSSL function "PEM_read_RSAPrivateKey" > does nothing, not even returning.
