i see, thanks.
i tried again and the same, unfortunately.
not doing it right i think, about the oppening a cmd and typing openssl.exe, i'm on a XP pro, and all i get is Windows cannot find...
or after typed cmd in the prompt command, you know, not a valid command...
it's clear now, but i think i don't have a openssl.exe installed already, well and if i do, i can't find it. There was and entry in the registry as i mentioned before. (i've deleted it.)
Also found the a openssl.exe in the \Temp\{A3FF5CB2-FB35-4658-8751-9EDE1D65B3AA} folder....renamed it....and didn't work. deleted it and didn't work either. But i believe is the one from VMware (the one just tried to install) already.
Now i think this openssl may have been left from a previous version of VMware. Is that possible? I so i guess i still have to find it and rename it right? And where would it be?
And if i don't have an openssl.exe installed already, what would be the problem then? and how to overcome it?
Look, i really appreciate what you're doing here, thank you for what you did so far. Hopefuly we'll get this to work. As it must.
