Wrong version of Libeay32.dll == Nothing, no error, no message, not working
One of my shorter posts, campers. I want to give a shout-out to our customer, James Nachbar, for discovering a problem that Crystal Reports creates with Twain drivers.
To summarize the problem, Crystal Reports loads a version of LIBEAY32.dll that is not compatible with the Konica Minolta Twain Driver. The dll itself is an OpenSource file and is used for coded communications over networks.
James has a great explanation and solution – read all about it in his blog. Many thanks to him for finding this.
On a side note – when searching for information on that particular dll, I not only find the SourceForge page for it, but also various bad things that use this dll, and also good programs that work with only certain versions of the dll. James mentions having 18 different versions of it on his machine; I have six – one for my FTP application and the others for VMware. I really am surprised that someone like Crystal Reports would use something so seemingly unstable.
