Npm install on windows fails looking for OpenSSL libeay32.lib which no longer exists

[mattwhetton]

Hey all,

Having issues using bignum (and libraries depending on it) on windows. Whenever I try to install its looking for an openssl library in a static location that doesn;t exist. I have tried installing openssl and copying the files into that directory, but libeay32.lib isn't called that anymore and the older version doesn't seem to be available.

Am I missing something or is there a fix for this? I did see an old thread that linked to an article, but the link is no longer available.

Thanks

Matt
