Question
I want to use the Win32 OpenSSL binaries from Shining Light Productions for the sole purpose of generating self-signed certificates. Unfortunately, my PC has a newer version of Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables, instead of the version recommended by Shining Light Productions.
Since I didn't see any static builds on the download page, what is the latest version of Win32 OpenSSL binaries that doesn't require the Visual C++ 2005/2008 Redistributables?
PS. I know about the alternatives of generating SSL certificates, I'm just interested in OpenSSL binaries.
Solution
From the OpenSSL Binaries wiki page:
OpenSSL for Windows
Pre-compiled Win32/64 libraries without external dependencies to the Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime DLLs, except for the system provided
msvcrt.dll
OTHER TIPS
From GnuWin32 project:
- OpenSSL for Windows version 0.9.8h
- requires only
msvcrt.dll
andmsvcp60.dll
