Question

I want to run some url, i used curl in windows environment for it.i downloaded curl executable from http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=bin&os=Win64 and saved curl.exe in C

Answer 1

I encountered the same problem when I tried to install curl in my 32 bit win 7 machine. As answered by Buravchik it is indeed dependency of SSL and installing openssl fixed it. Just a point to take care is that while installing openssl you will get a prompt to ask where do you wish to put the dependent DLLS. Make sure to put it in windows system directory as other programs like curl and wget will also be needing it.
