Hi Chuck, this message can be clicked through and ignored as you have found. It is due to the Qt framework we use requiring SSL libraries to access the SourceForge files area. We use the SF files area to host the sample files that can be downloaded. SourceForge uses SSL protected servers to serve content, which is a good thing. The OpenSSL libraries cannot be shipped with Qt, nor can they be shipped with WSJT-X as they are restricted by US export laws. You can install them yourself assuming the licence agreement terms are met with respect to your location, details of officially sanctioned WIndows binaries can be found here: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries You need a 32-bit installation of the latest v1.0 series (currently v1.0.2j). The installers available here: https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html seem to work well, choose the option to install into the windows/system32 directory to ensure that all applications pick up the new libraries. If you wish you can install the latest v1.1 libraries as well but they are not needed for WSJT-X. Normally installing third party libraries into the windows/system32 directory is not recommended but the proliferation of older versions of SSL libraries along with their poor support for cross version compatibility may require installation in windows/system32 to stop older versions on the PATH being detected first. Note to others, if you do not get this error when accessing "Menu->Help->Download Samples..." then no action is required. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
