What is normaliz.dll?

Question

C++ / C#

I downloaded cURL from the official site for XP, linked libcurl.dll and compiled the simplest example ( simple.c from the examples from their site). Runs but crashes with an error

normaliz.dll not found

. What is this dll?

Answer 1

Unicode normalization.
Typically located in Windows\System32 (Windows\SysWOW64).
The official site does not hold cURL libraries, it only provides links to other people's assemblies. cURL (or OpenSSL) uses VC2008; you obviously downloaded the NOT XP version. Nothing, VS2008 Redistributable can be downloaded here.

I specifically searched and found a cURL/OpenSSL build that doesn't require anything fancy. We are programmers, we install a bunch of software - but one beta tester did not work, because his work laptop didn't have VS2013, strayed with OpenSSL.
