[Interest] libeay32.dll - The Ordinal 4369 could not be located

[Phil Hannent]

Good morning,

I have a small issue with a MinGW Qt 5.2.0 application. On a users
computer when they start the application they get a warning dialog
about libeay32.dll. On test machines and developer machines we've not
see this error.

However when I locate that file on my computer and find it being used
by another application, I then copy it to the application folder I
then get the error. This indicates that the user has the DLL in their
PATH variable.

My issue is how can I get around this? I cannot remove the other
applications installation, however I did wonder if I can put a version
beside my application so that it gets picked first, one that works
every time. However Qt doesn't seem to bundle the DLL itself, so I
wouldn't know what to use.

Has anybody else run into this DLL hell?

Regards
