INet, Synapse and OpenSSl

[user5]

Every time I try to run INet or Synapse programs I get an exception error message that says to check the openssl installation, even though I had installed Win32OpenSSL-1.1.0.

I have to use a binary installer since I don't have a C compiler or the time to use one.

Am I using the wrong OpenSSl installer? I put libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll in the Windows system32 folder but it didn't help.

Is there another communications system as good as INet or Synapse that doesn't use OpenSSl, which I might try?

Maybe I don't need them at all, I don't know. I'm trying to learn how to do client/host, machine to machine stuff but I can't even get anything to work.

The first question is what version OS, 32 bit or 64 bit?
The second question is what version of Lazarus, 32 bit or 64 bit?

You mixing your bitness all over the place.
If you put the dll from a win32 zip into the C:\Windows\System32 on a 64 bit OS, you're putting it in the wrong place. the C:\Windows\System32 is for 64 bit dlls only !!

32bit dlls go in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 on a 64 bit system.

And if you use the 64 bit of Lazarus you'll need the Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.0 files and put them in C:\Windows\System32.

(You could also put the correct bitness dlls in your program/.exe directory but not everyone agrees with this )

I have to use a binary installer

If you used an installer like from here:

http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

then the dlls are already in the correct location.

Note that if you don't want to run an installer and/or don't want to tamper with system directories (eg, on your users' computers), just put them on the path somewhere. You can get the dlls from here:

Strange I downloaded the setup from slproweb and it just unpacked the files in "C:\OpenSSL-Win32" not in the system as I expected.

My Internet Tools do not need openSSL on Windows

Every time I try to run INet or Synapse programs I get an exception error message that says to check the openssl installation, even though I had installed Win32OpenSSL-1.1.0.

Does INet or Synapse support OpenSSL 1.1.0 to begin with?  1.1.0 introduces some major API breakages, and even uses different library filenames than earlier versions.  Have you tried using 1.0.2 yet?
