Re-7: libeay32.dll error with standalone

[runrev260805 at m-r-d.de]

Hi Jim,

i am running a 32-bit system.

The problem is, that the standalones  looks at startup if it can find a libeay32.dll in windows or any folder defined in %path%, although the standalone, even the standalone with just one answer dialog, is created with settings,that do not include the ssl library. My problem is/was, that my customer owns about 50 Acer pc´s, which all have installed Acer´s eDataSecuritySoftware. This software extend  %path% to a i386 and a x86 folder of within the eDataSecurity folder

My standalone, which does not use ssl, looks now along the path if it can find the libeay32.dll. It finds it in i386 and also in x64 and tries to load it. Then i get an errormessage, but this message is not generated by the standalone. I think that message is created by windows, because the standalone tries to load a 64-bit version of libeay32.dll under 32-bit windows. And that cannot work. Btw. if i rename the libeay32.dll in folder x64. The standalone starts up without any error message.

But again, why does a Revolution standalone, which does not use any ssl or encryption,  looks for and tries to load  the libeay32.dll? What for?  That´s what i do not understand.

If you are interested, i can send you the specific libeay32.dll, which produces the error here. Just replace it with your one, run a standalone with only an anwwer dialog and you will see what i mean.


Regards,

Matthias
