FIPS module loading problem on windows 10 (ms vc 2015)

[Gregory Letaille <gletaille@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 I retrieved and compiled official openssl 3 version from openssl site

configure the project with such command line

perl Configure enable-fips VC-WIN32 --debug --prefix=D:\outssl\Dll\x32\debug --openssldir=D:\outssl\ssl

nmake

nmake install

debug and release version tested

all seems fine even the compilation of fips.dll module

now I tried to create a command line too that just try to load the FIPS provider

OSSL_PROVIDER *fips;
fips = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "fips");

in the output window of visual studio I can see that he fips.dll well loaded   then unloaded and fips pointer is returned as null

I tried to play with the openssl/cnf file that basically (without success) configured as follow

config_diagnostics = 1
openssl_conf = openssl_init

.include d:\outssl\ssl\fipsmodule.cnf


# Extra OBJECT IDENTIFIER info:
# oid_file       = $ENV::HOME/.oid
oid_section = new_oids

[openssl_init]
providers = provider_sect

[provider_sect]
base = base_sect
fips = fips_sect

[base_sect]
activate = 1

  my d:\outssl\ssl\fipsmodule.cnf file  is as follow  

[fips_sect]

#activate = 0 is the value documented to force FIPS in the code but I  also tried 1 without more success
activate = 0 
conditional-errors = 1
security-checks = 1
module-mac = B9:FB:80:43:6A:58:FC:89:23:19:83:9F:A8:CE:FE:ED:52:F0:DA:93:1C:B9:F7:57:0A:BB:F3:E4:B0:EE:93:C9

I have the same problem in debug or release  .

 if I do the same test with the legacy provider fips pointer is not null and seems correct

fips = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "Legacy");

is someone have an idea  of what is my problem

is threr some debug info that I can enabled or check to make some progress?

Thanks in advance
