'The procedure entry point BCryptHash could not be located in the dynamic link library while setting up MongoDB shell
When I tried to setup the MongoDB shell version 4.4.6 in my windows 8 system I am getting the following error:-
The procedure entry point BCryptHash could not be located in the dynamic link library D:..\bin\mongo.exe
Is this related to any dll file missing my windows system ?
Solution 1:[1]
According to [MS.Docs]: BCryptHash function (bcrypt.h) (emphasis is mine):
Minimum supported client Windows 10 [desktop apps | UWP apps]
Then I checked [MongoDB.Docs]: Install MongoDB Community Edition on Windows - Platform Support which states (emphasis still mine):
EOL Notice
MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition removes support for Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2
MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition removes support for Windows 8 / Server 2012
MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition removes support for Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2
So, either upgrade to Windows 10, either install an older MongoDB version.
