Hello,

I am on Windows 7 64bit. I am using ActiveState's 8.6b3 install w/tls
included. Here is a typical session:

C:\Projects> tclsh86
% package require tls
couldn't load library "C:/Development/Tools/Tcl/lib/teapot/package/
win32-ix86/lib/tls1.6/tls16.dll": invalid argument
%

I used dependency walked and found that three DLLs were missing:

* GPSVC.DLL - found in C:\Windows\System32
* IESHIMS.DLL - found in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
* SYSNTFY.DLL - found in C:\Windows\System32

So, for the fun of it I copied these files to "C:/Development/Tools/
Tcl/lib/teapot/package/win32-ix86/lib/tls1.6/"

I continue to get the same problem, so I ran dependency walker again
and see that the three files I copied into the tls directory are of
CPU type x64 when all the rest of the dependencies are x86.

Any thoughts on resolving this problem so I can use tls?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Works fine for me in 8.6 tkcon on 64-bit Windows Vista, using 32-bit
AT 8.6b3:

Main console display active (Tcl8.6b1.2 / Tk8.6b1.2)
(System32) 49 % info loaded
{{} Tk} {C:/Tcl-86/lib/tcl8.6/reg1.3/tclreg13.dll Registry}
(System32) 49 % package require tls
1.6
(System32) 50 % info loaded
{C:/Tcl-86/lib/teapot/package/win32-ix86/lib/tls1.6/tls16.dll Tls} {{}
Tk} {C:/Tcl-86/lib/tcl8.6/reg1.3/tclreg13.dll Registry}

These are bogus optional DLLs that won't be used and don't prevent
loading. In fact, the "invalid argument" error you see is not the one
that indicates a missing DLL. Something else is wrong with your mix
of tls and core, but I couldn't say what, given I have a similar
setup. I'm not sure if Windows 7 could change the equation somehow.

Ok, I have not figured it all out yet, but I did get it to work.

I found libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll in

C:\Windows\SysWOW64

If I move those to a bogus name, then do a package require tls, all
works great. Move them back to their legit names and package require
tls no longer works.
