Abstract: When using the Indy SSL components, an error 'Could Not Load SSL Library' is raised

Information in this Brief applies to:



  • Delphi 6, 7
  • Windows

Overview

This article explains how to work around the 'Could Not Load SSL Library' error by explaining what you must install on your system.

Details

This error is raised because you must have OpenSSL installed on your machine in order to use the IndySSL components.� At runtime, Indy attempts to load libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll.� Due to restrictions on exporting SSL technology, these .dll's are not distributed along with Indy.� Please review Indy's SSL site for information on where you can obtain the OpenSSL .dll's.
