Why doesn't .NET find the OpenSSL.NET dll?

Question

EDIT (the whole question, it was too unclear)

I want to use OpenSSL.NET

The OpenSSL.NET install instructions page: INSTALL

Answer 1

You're probably missing the VC++ redistributables. I'm assuming OpenSSL.NET is x86 only, so you can grab the VS2008 version x86 redistributable if they're release builds.

Otherwise, if they're debug builds (you'll see Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT in EventViewer or the sxstrace logs) then you'll need to either:

• Rebuild them as release
• Install or copy the debug redistributables from another machine
• Install Visual C++ into Visual Studio (or, probably, Visual C++ Express)
