CryptoAPI installation on Win95

Author	Message
Dave #1 / 6	CryptoAPI installation on Win95 I have an application that uses the cryptography API and it works good enough, but when I install my applications on Win95 (which do not have IE3 on them) they don't want to work. I'm obviously missing some dependencies or something. CRYPT32.DLL is one, and ADVAPI32.DLL seems to be another. Can it be deemed appropriate for me to include an updated ADVAPI32.DLL in my install or do I simply have to require used to install IE on their machine. Please reply to the NG. Demolition Dave

mich #2 / 6	CryptoAPI installation on Win95 advapi32.dll is certainly there, it is the registry dll. Without it the machine would not even boot. -- MichKa ------------------------------------- don't send questions by e-mail unless you're paying for it.

Dave #3 / 6	CryptoAPI installation on Win95 For pre-Win98 and IE-less Win95 machines, yes ADVAP32.DLL is there and usually weighs in around 24K. Crypto-enabled machines have all kinds of Crypto exports in ADVAPI32.DLL which makes that rev about 68K or something like that. I guess what I'm asking is whether I can include the new ADVAPI32.DLL in my application installs, or is ADVAPI32 thought of like KERNEL32 and USER32 which you don't include in your installs because it is retarded to do so.

mich #4 / 6	CryptoAPI installation on Win95 advapi32.dll is a core system component, you should not be distributing it. -- MichKa ------------------------------------- don't send questions by e-mail unless you're paying for it.

Douglas Marquard #5 / 6	CryptoAPI installation on Win95 Hi Dave: Quote: >I have an application that uses the cryptography API and it works good >enough, but when I install my applications on Win95 (which do not have IE3 >on them) they don't want to work To use CAPI with Win95 you must have installed IE 3.0 (or perhaps 3.2) or greater, or OSR2 or greater Hope this helps, Doug.

Dave #6 / 6	CryptoAPI installation on Win95 Doug and Michael, Thanks for the info. I suppose I'm going to have to coerce installers of my apps to install IE3 if they are running Win95.
