OpenSSL binaries for Windows without Visual C++ 2005/2008 Redistributables


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
