I'm trying to get mIRC to use the openSSL that is installed on my windows 11 machine. According to another forum post it has versions 1.1.1.9 built into mIRC.exe which I verified using:

Via post: https://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/268623/ssl-dll-confusion
//echo -a $sslversion * $ssldll * $ssllibdll

I've installed openSSL ver 3 and copied the files to the mIRC Directory which I can see is libcrypt-3.x64.dll and libssl-3-x64.dll and maybe legacy.dll

When I load mIRC and run the script it still using mIRC 1.1.1.9 versions. Now according to openssl website version 1 is outdated and will drop support for it later this year in September. What am I doing wrong to get version 3 of openssl working. My channel is needing openSSL versions 2+.
