Do you have git installed?

gilded fern
#

yes, i have no clue how to use it lol

ornate scarab
#

you don't have to, your problem is that windows can't find the openssl executable, and git has it

gilded fern
#

how do i do this?

ornate scarab
#

you have to add the git binaries folder to your path

#

do you know how to do that or, walk you through?

gilded fern
#

best be safe and walk through

ornate scarab
#

sure, so do you see an openssl.exe here?
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\

gilded fern
#

sorry for the pause im back

#

lemme check

ornate scarab
#

sure np

gilded fern
#

do i move it to the openvpn file?

scenic ginkgo
#

you need to put it it in your environmental path

gilded fern
#

this guy says i need to point it correctly

scenic ginkgo
#

yes

#

if you are running shit that is going to do "openssl"

gilded fern
#

how do i do that? in the vars?

scenic ginkgo
#

you need to find openssl.exe and put that full path in an environmental variable

#

add the full path to the exe

#

"edit"

#

you can confirm its working by opening a command prompt and just type "openssl" from any directory

ornate scarab
#

^ but you have to open the command prompt AFTER saving these changes, if you had one open already that will not update

gilded fern
#

is this right?

#

i set it to where openssl is in the var.bat

scenic ginkgo
#

do what I said above...

gilded fern
#

is this right then?

scenic ginkgo

no variables

#

you edit "Path" in the screenshot above

gilded fern

ornate scarab
#

gilded fern

gilded fern
#

its looking for ssl 1.0.0 im guessing i have a different version

ornate scarab
#

I'm gonna be honest I never actually tried to do this on windows

#

OPTIONAL (but recommended):
(1) OpenSSL library, necessary for encryption, version 0.9.8 or higher
required, available from https://www.openssl.org/

#

you could try to install this one though
