Hi,

Should the crypto module work on 64bit windows? It works fine on 32bit 
Windows XP, but on 64bit XP and 64bit Windows7 I get the following error:

----------

Erlang R14B02 (erts-5.8.3) [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]

Eshell V5.8.3  (abort with ^G)
1> crypto:start().

module could not be found.'"
OpenSSL might not be installed on this system.

                                                   "Failed to load NIF

specified module could not be found.'"}}
** exception error: undefined function crypto:start/0

----------

C:\Program Files (x86)\erl5.8.3\lib\crypto-2.0.2.1\priv\lib
does contain crypto.dll. Installing a 64bit version of OpenSSL for 
Windows doesn't help.

The crypto documentation refers to Win32 - should I infer that crypto 
will not work on 64bit Windows operating systems?



Regards

Emile
