<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">We have an application running on Windows 8.1 (HP) tablets that is
mostly statically linked except for a few libraries, including the
SSLEAY32 and LIBEAY32 libraries.<br>
<br>
We're using version 1.0.2 of the OpenSSL libraries.<br>
<br>
We ship our executable and these two libraries and then set a PATH entry
in the registry that points to our 'lib' directory so the
system/library loader can find the libraries at load/run time.<br>
<br>
There are two other packages on these tablets we ship that include older
versions of the OpenSSL libraries - Intel TXE Components/TCS (OpenSSL
version 1.0.0g) and HP Registration service (1.0.0d).<br>
<br>
Works well.<br>
<br>
Until the user runs Windows updates....<br>
<br>
Then, when our application starts we get a 'The ordinal 3905 could not
be located in the dynamic link library 'C:\program Files\<our
installdir>\lib\SSALEAY32.dll'.<br>
<br>
I've tried the following - all to no avail:<br>
<ul>
<li>removing the HP and Intel OpenSSL libraries (but safe-keeping them for later re-installation)</li><li>Re-installing our application and OpenSSL libraries<br>
</li></ul>
Interestingly, the OpenSSL libraries in the HP and Intel installations
do not change after the Windows update - they're the same versions as
before the update....<br>
<br>
I'm stumped. Any clues?<br>
<br>
I'm guessing the best course of action is to statically link the OpenSSL libs into our app. Is that a good plan?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help.<br>
