Windows 7 / UAC / Permission question

Hi, DarkRuleR.

On the Windows 2008 R2 64bit system, the file MSVCR71.DLL had been present inside %windir%\syswow64 all the time. Seen from the perspective of a 32bit application, this is %windir%\system32\MSVCR71.DLL.

Re-installed Total Commander to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Totalcmd" and added the files libeay32.dll and libssl2.dll from the libcurl 7.19.7 package.

FTPS worked. No complaint.

Kind regards,
Karl

You need to get 32bit OpenSSL even on win7 64bit for 32bit applications it seems!

That solved it for me.

Of course. 32-bit applications can't load 64-bit DLLs and vice versa. So if you want to use some xYY-bit application, you need corresponding xYY-bit DLLs.

Since Explorer extensions are DLLs you need 64-bit extensions to use with Explorer and 32-bit ones to use with TC or any other 32-bit file manager.
