OpenSSL for Windows XP

[Monroe]

I am looking for an OpenSSL version that can be installed on Windows XP. The latest version that will actually install. I have come across these two web sites that list Win XP but the downloads will not install.

Shining Light Productions / Win32/Win64 OpenSSL

https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

Recommended system requirements:
Windows XP or later
128MB RAM
500MHz CPU
300MB hard drive space

... and this site:

OpenSSL For Windows    

https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Components-Libraries/OpenSSL.shtml#download

runs on:
    Windows 11
    Windows 10 32/64 bit
    Windows 8 32/64 bit
    Windows 7 32/64 bit
    Windows Vista 32/64 bit
    Windows XP 32/64 bit    

They indicate that I need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable 14.50.35719.0 (x86) which I downloaded but it wouldn't install. From that download Visual C++ runtime for XP/2003 I was able to install 'vcredist2013_x86' on Windows XP. Anything higher would not install.

... just found this site on a search:

Latest working Visual C++ 2015-2019 runtime for XP/2003

https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?t=386

someone posted this link in the discussion, I have seen these names in the MSFN forum - MilkChan and K4sum1:

Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One Dec 2025

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

and there are many older download versions shown.

Just would like to know what is the latest OpenSSL version that will install / work on Windows XP? I have downloaded several x86 versions but they don't install.

Thanks ...

Thanks for the list ... I downloaded 5 files, from newer to older and will see if any actually install. I hope one download will install, if not I will download more from the list to find one that will install.

No, I just wanted to install OpenSSL on my XP setup.
