[openssl-users] Failed to install OpenSSL 1.1.0 using 'nmake install'

[Richard Levitte]

Andrew, I think you need to read up in the INSTALL file in 1.1.0.
Jing Liu's sequence of commands seems correct to me, and with 1.1.0,
the default install prefix *is* C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL\ for
VC-Win32.

Cheers,
Richard
