Oke, that is a clear answer, thanks for that. One last question on this subject. Are you going to try to build a statically compiled package in one of the next versions ? Or are you leaving it like it is now ?

I figured that upgrading the compiler once a decade is a reasonable request. Unfortunately, this resulted in hard dependencies on the MS runtime environment (MSVCR9.DLL). This is a DLL which is impossible to install by merely copying the file. You absolutely have to go through MS's annoying installer in order to get it on your system and get your system working. The only sane way I found of doing that is to create an MSI for the entire rsyncrypto installation. So the MSI does three things: - Copy a bunch of files, DLLs and EXEs into your chosen install directory. You can just copy them elsewhere, if you like. - Copy the openssl DLLs and executable into the "legacy" location - usually c:\windows\system32. You will need two DLLs from there if you want to copy them by hand. - Install MSVCR9. I have no clue how you can install it manually, and neither does Google. This is a black magic DLL which is impossible to manipulate by hand. I would have gladly linked it statically in order to prevent this problem, however it seems that I cannot pass "stderr" between rsyncrypto and argtable unless they are both linking dynamically with the same run time environment. This is the reason that the build environment now compiles argtable2 as part of the rsyncrypto project - to make sure they are compiled with compatible options. Thanks for debugging this.
