+# Copy of answer:
+# We occasionally had customers getting very similar warning messages but the software was also crashing.
+# We determined it was because, although we weren't using SSL either, the program found a copy of OpenSSL on the
+# customer's computer and tried interfacing with it. The version it found was too old though (from Qt 5.2 onwards v1.0.0
+# or later is required).
+#
+# Our solution was to distribute the OpenSSL DLLs along with our application (~1.65 MB). The alternative is to compile
+# Qt from scratch without OpenSSL support.
