Please bear in mind that it's not because browsers like Chrome or Firefox can access these sites (because they contain their own, custom version of an SSL library) that applications that rely on Windows APIs (which use a different, native version of the SSL library) can. This message means exactly what it says: If you are seeing this, you are missing critical Windows security updates, that are required to be able to access sites like GitHub/AWS (which is where Rufus stores the downloadable content) in SSL mode.
For some reason rufus fails to download the files.Ĭonsidering that you mention that you are running Rufus on Windows 7, I'm going to go on a limb and assume that, if you open the Rufus log Ctrl- L you also see the following: Unable to send request: This system's SSL library is too old to be able to access this website.
