Help Installing Stunnel After Reformat Drive

I have been using Stunnel with Agent versioin 3. My system recently crashed and I had to re-format the hard drive, reinstall Windows XP, and reinstall my apps. I have followed the directions at wurd.com/cl_ssl_stunnel.php#Windows. Fortunately, I had backups of the required files. I placed libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, stunnel-4.10.exe, and stunnel.conf in C:\Stunnel. I placed a shortcut on the desktop which points to C:\Batch\runagent.bat. C:\Batch\runagent.bat consists of the following line: c:\batch\runagent.cmd c:\batch\runagent.cmd consists of the following lines: net start stunnel "C:\Program Files\Agent\agent.exe" net stop stunnel There is also a desktop shortcut which points to C:\Stunnel\stunnel-4.10.exe. When I place a pause command following the net start stunnel line in runagent.cmd a message appears: The service name is invalid. The WURD document seems to imply that it is not necessary to run stunnel-410.exe -install unless you want Stunnel to run all the time. Am I missing something? I don't remember exactly how I made this work when I first installed it before my system crashed. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks. Mort Middleman Print. Move to folder:

Yes. You need to install a service in order to start it. 8-) You can change Startup Type in your Control Panel/Services so stunnel service is not started automatically. BTW: Stunnel 4.12 is going to be released with a Windows installer, so users won't have to maually copy the dlls. 8-) You could try a prerelease here: ftp://ftp.mirt.net/stunnel/stunnel-4.12rc1-installer.exe Best regards, Mike
