Well, you can receive a "library not found" error when in fact the
library DOES exist, but cannot be loaded because a library it depends on
does not exist or is unusable.

Try looking at ssleay32.dll with depends.exe
(http://dependencywalker.com) and seeing if it there's any sign of a
missing required library.
