I used the first method which was merely to locate the dll diles and place them in the mIRC folder. Nothing. I then used the second method which was to place them in the wondows/system32 and system folders. Nothing. I then took the easy option and downloaded the linked OpenSSL for Win32 installer. Nothing. So I decided to try a reinstall of mIRC6.15. Nothing. Can someone please tell me what on earth I am doing wrong. I am trying to connect to a secure server, I know its secure, I run it. Whenever I try the /server -e option I get: - [17:14:52] * SSL error: ssl not available - [17:14:52] * Connect cancelled - * /server: ssl not available - Any help would be much appreciated

Close mIRC before installing and preferably close all other programs. After installation you may want to reboot. I had no problems installing SSL, but I did have to reboot mIRC after installation for the effects to take place. You might check if you also have msvcr70d.dll, if not, try adding that to the mIRC directory or System32 folder, whichever you installed OpenSSL to. If you do //echo -a $sslready what does it return?

Where the mIRC instructions say this is a supported version. Quote: You will have to download the OpenSSL 0.9.7d (or newer) libraries separately from mIRC and place them in the mIRC folder for this to work. Due to the varying import/export restrictions of encryption across countries, the OpenSSL DLLs cannot be distributed with mIRC. Which files do I need specifically? You will need libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll of OpenSSL 0.9.7d (or newer), and possibly msvcr70d.dll as well. They must be downloaded and placed in the mIRC folder, or in the Windows system folder. The file ssleay32.dll is however not installed by the OpenSSL installer. I noticed there was a file called "libssl32.dll" installed, i copied this file to "ssleay32.dll" and restared mIRC. All SSL options where available and functional now. Please give feedback if this also solves your problem. (PS I was using an almost clean install of mIRC 6.15 on WinXP Pro SP1 English) Last edited by MarcoH64; 06/07/04 04:57 PM.
