I have downloaded windows openssl (Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_1h.exe).

When installing it prompts if the dll files are to be copied to the windows system directory. I select Yes. But after the install the date/time of the files in the c:\windows\system32 do not update.

Should I just copy the ssleay32.dll and libssl32.dll from C:\OpenSSL-Win32 to system32?

If they don't copy, you can just do it yourself.

Afterward, register the dlls using regsvr32 libssl32.dll and regsvr32 ssleay32.dll so they can be used.

  • Thank you. Is it common they don't copy? I am actually quite suprised they didn't. When I first did this the installer threw a message it could not copy files because they were in use. But when I stopped my webserver and hit the "retry" button they did. – M Schenkel Jun 25 '14 at 15:32

    I haven't really messed with OpenSSL installers all that much, but I do see it quite commonly as the installer doesn't always prompt if the file's in use or something prevents it from copying the new one. – Nathan C Jun 25 '14 at 15:34
