[stunnel-users] "stunnel -version"

Fri Aug 27 10:36:52 CEST 2010

I installed the official stunnel 4.33 binary on Windows XP/32.

And, when I execute "stunnel -version", a popup window appears with
the following message:

  ---------------------------
  stunnel 4.33 on Win32 (not configured)
  ---------------------------
  Stunnel server is down due to an error.
  You need to exit and correct the problem.
  Click OK to see the error log window.
  ---------------------------
  OK
  ---------------------------

Shouldn't that just work? What may be the cause for the problem?

Indeed, I didn't configure stunnel yet. But I also realized that when
I change something - for example the log level - in "stunnel.conf",
then this is ignored by "stunnel -version".

After clicking "OK" to close the popup message, I get some more info,
though meaningless to me:
