Hi everyone,

out of the blue, i can't start the EMC Networker services anymore.
My OS is Windows Server 2003 x86, the Networker version is 7.3.3

When i try to start the services from Server Manager, it says that the Service 
did not respond in a timely fashion. When i try to run any networker commands 
in CMD.exe, i get the errormessage "The ordinal 3249 could not be located in 
the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll.". I get the same Error when i try to 
start nsrexecd.exe.

I have located LIBEAY32.dll in the ...\nsr\bin folder, it is 1,028,096 bytes, 
and shows the File Version 0.9.8.7
I tried replacing it temporalily with another version, afterwards some commands 
(i.e. "inquire", "sjisn") work, but i still can't start the service / 
nsrexecd.exe. I also installed Networker on another machine to copy the dll, 
but in the new installation the dll is smaller, and that dll does not work, too.

Using regsvr32.exe to register LIBEAY32.dll does not seem to be possible.

I know that 7.3.3 is quite old, but we don't have a support contract with EMC 
anymore after we migrated to another backupsoftware roughly two years ago. 
Until now the Networker always worked when we needed it, but now it's broken. I 
also can't open a regular request through Powerlink, since 7.3.3 is not listed 
there anymore.

I hope somebody is able to help me :)

Best regards,

MPieper
