---------------------
I use Ruby without installer, ruby-1.8.7-p72-i386-mswin32
Just tried to run script , but got error: "The application has failed to 
start because SSLEAY32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may 
fix this problem."
Here is part of output printed in DOS window:

e:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/openssl.so: 126: The specified module 
could no
t be found.   - e:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/openssl.so (LoadError)

Thank you.
