Download OpenSSL binaries and copy the DLLs in your executable folder or somewhere on the path. Pay attention that there are a lot of OpenSSL versions and they are not always interchangeables! Be sure to download the correct one.

If you have already the OpenSSL installed, then use a tool like ProcessMonitor to spy on your own application to find out which DLL it tries to open and where it expect the DLL to be.
