How to install SSLEAY32.dll

[dave-]

I need to install SSLEAY32.dll on my Windows 2008 server. How do I do it?

I tried to do it by copying the it from my XP system and putting it in the PATH but that did not work. It could not find the dll.

I moved it to C:\Windows\System32 and ran regsvr32 filename.dll but it gave me a "failed to load" error message.

I have 2 questions:

1) I know it is software from OpenSSL.org but I could not find it there. Where can I get a reliable copy that is compatable with Windows 2008 server?

2) How do I install it? Was I correct in moving it to \Windows\System32 and running regsvr32?

TIA dave-

I do not "need" SSLEAY32.dll anymore. I found another way to do what I wanted without that dll. However, I still would like to confirm how to install a dll on Windows 2008. TIA dave-
