Please check if the dll in application is of the same version as that in the sys32 or wow64 folder depending on your version of windows.

You can check that from the filesize of the dlls.

Eg: I faced this issue because my libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll file in system32 had a different dll than my libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll file in openssl application.

I copied the one in sys32 into openssl and everything worked well.

I've encountered this kind of problem before. I was using the Windows x64 operating system, so I was getting an error in openssl. Later I realized that the path to the OpenSSL installation file was "C: \ OpenSSL win32". Finally, I deleted the OpenSSL program and installed it to "C: \ Program Files (x86)" and used it smoothly.

For windows, you need to download the latest version of the open SSL binaries at this time is:

openssl-1.0.2k-x64_86-win64.zip

openSSL list

this problem happened to me when I tried to run MongoDB bin in windows 10

source to download: https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/

Download libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll binary package for 32Bit and 64Bit from http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/ then put it into executable or System32 directory.

It is a library from SSL. You need to install openssl.

You might also meet missing readline() function in python. You have to install pyreadline Lib.

I encountered the same problem when I tried to install curl in my 32 bit win 7 machine. As answered by Buravchik it is indeed dependency of SSL and installing openssl fixed it. Just a point to take care is that while installing openssl you will get a prompt to ask where do you wish to put the dependent DLLS. Make sure to put it in windows system directory as other programs like curl and wget will also be needing it.

I believe you need to put the libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll files in the systems folder
