Install permissions problem

I just checked, and I have a copy in the 64 bit directory too. I do
not know if it was installed by Silverfast or opensll.

It did come from openssl, and was the same version (ssl version 0.9.8o,
file version 0.9.8.15)

Silverfast is still not giving any useful information.

I did not do anything, it is just an error message posted by both
installers. Did it put a copy in your system32 directory too?
Could my windows have some sort of link between the two system
directories?

Thanks again for all your help,
ah



I'm not clear about your actual problem.
Ignore anything relating to Openssl.
You say the error message appears during installation of SilverFast.
Is SilverFast now installed and working OK?

The scanning works, I am not sure that the communications module does.
The problem was just that it tried to install libeay32.dll to
the system32 directory, and was refused permission to do so. Why it
tried to install it there on my system, and to the 64bit sys directory
on your system is a mystery to me.

Thanks,

More information:

I booted to safe mode, and SF installed with no error message, it put a
2005 version of libeay32.dll into the 64-bit system directory.

however when I boot to full windows I get a message about not finding
an ordinal in that library, which I take means this lib is too old for
something...

I am about to just give up. It does not seem very important, but I do
like to understand every error and problem.

Thanks,


I don't know what to suggest.
When I do a search I find several libeay32.dlls on my machine.

C:\BB-7PE\Projects\Tools\BB-7PE\libeay32.dll 0.9.8.2 1.03 M/b
C:\Program Files (x86)\FTPRush\libeay32.dll 0.9.8.4 1.06 M/b
C:\Program Files (x86)\GrabIt\libeay32.dll 0.9.8.7 992 K/b
C:\Program Files (x86)\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\libeay32.dll no version 824 K/b
C:\Program Files (x86)\Megaupload\Mega Manager\libeay32.dll no version 820 K/b
and the one from SilverFast,
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\libeay32.dll no version 866 K/b

It's odd that all the other programs install the dll to their respective
folders whereas SilverFast puts it in the SysWOW64 folder.

I found a bunch too. Adobe had three (Bridge, Flash and Device
Central), SyncBackPro had one, and there were a few more scattered
here and there. All different versions. Secunia does not seem to
mind, I guess that is good that an encryption library does not have
security holes

But as I said, I am not getting the errors now, so I am happy.

Thank you very much for your generous help, one of these days
I will have enough of Win 7 figured out to be happy.

ah
