Hi
Can anyone tell me how to deploy the necessary OpenSSL files as part
of a Win32 application?
The app is deployed using a Windows Installer EXE. I’m not
particularly familiar with how this works, but it has been suggested
that an OpenSSL merge module might be what I’m looking for?
Thanks

You'll need the binary files
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll
plus the executables you want to use (openssl.exe?).
In addition you may need configuration data like a CA-bundle or the
openssl.cnf, but that depends heavily on the functionality you are using.
If you put them together into the install directory of your own
application and chances are good that everything works fine. ;)
I don't know Windows Installer in detail, but I guess the placement of
some more files into the same directory should not pose a real problem
for it. In case openssl is already installed on the target system maybe
you'll waste about 1.5 MB of harddisk space, but you'll get the
advantage of using exactly the version of openssl you did test your
application against...
Hope it helps.

Alternatively, you could rely on Win32 OpenSSL. See sig.
