cloud processing OPENSSL will not install

[geomaticist]

I have been trying to get the cloud processing to work. I have a login there.

'openSSL library not found. Please install OpenSSl 1.0.2 or 1.0.1 for cloud processing.'

using instructions at:
https://agisoft.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000155067-how-to-process-a-project-on-the-cloud

I go to the SSL link. I then go to the first web link:
https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

then I have tried to run; Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.1h Light

then tried metashape. I get the error above. I also reboot and get same error. I tried to also install the 32bit (full, not light), and so on.

I am running metashape 1.6.2    on a windows x64 machine.

is there some specific way it needs to be installed? or can it dump the info in the windows folder. Also … is it ok I am trying to install openssl 1.1.1 instead of 1.02?   

We could use a bit more help on where to get version 1.0.2, and also where to install it at.

I really want to try to cloud processing out.

thank you.

ok I will answer my own post. I used Alexey's reply to another post:


"Please try to download OpenSSL Binaries Win-64 v1.0.2u binaries from the following page:
http://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download#Download_OpenSSL_Binaries_.28required_for_SSL-enabled_components.29

Unpack the archive and put its contents to Metashape Pro installation directory, then re-start the application."

so i don't know if it truly has to be version 1.0.2   but just used that since it was there. And the trick it to copy the contents to the install directory - just as he says. For windows that was at /programs/Agisoft/metashape

i did not need to reboot. but only re open the metashape app. And then it seems to be working now.

Hello geomaticist,

This workaround solution is required for Metashape 1.6 version and exactly 1.0.x version of OpenSSL is necessary.

In the version 1.7 there will be no need for manual installation of external OpenSSL libraries.
