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

[Richard Levitte]

Weird problem.  I assume that if you do 'dir ms' while standing in
D:\openssl-1.1.0, you will in fact see applink.c.  Correct?

My I suggest applying the attached patch to util/copy.pl and see if
you get a better explanation for the mystery?

Cheers,
Richard
