Cannot open Perl script "Configure": no such file or directory

Question

How to install openSSL on Windows-32 bit?

This is what I have done so far:

1. Downloaded openSSL source code from http://www.openssl.org/source/ and unzip it using 7-zip

2. Download & install ActiveState Perl @ ActiveState Perl and added C:\perl\bin\.

3. Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat to get Visual Studio environment setup.

4. Run perl Configure VC-WIN32 no-asm – -prefix=C:\openssl-1.0.1b.

This command gives me the error cannot open perl script "Configure": no such file or directory.

Please help me to solve this problem.

Solution 1

Here is what I did to fix this error:

• I executed the command in Visual Studio Command Prompt instead of a regular CMD.
• To run to the Visual Studio Command Prompt click start -> All programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)
• Also, Make sure you are in the directory where the file Configure is located.

The command got executed with no error

Solution 2

1) You should run NASM as administrator. Its must have.

2) Switch folder to downloaded openSSL files (Folder with files like README, INSTALL, NOTES, etc.)

3) Run:

perl Configure {YOUR CONFIGURATION}
